API Payload field format for Lead Capture

[crmclients]

I just wanted to exhaust all reasons why this isn't working and confirm I should be using the camel case format (as is with the CSV export) when naming fields from external sources to pass into the Leads module

The Lead Capture shows this:

{ salutationName: SALUTATION_NAME,
firstName: FIRST_NAME,
lastName: LAST_NAME,
middleName: MIDDLE_NAME,
emailAddress: EMAIL_ADDRESS }

But I should be using

firstName

not

FIRST_NAME

correct?

is there a reason both are listed?

Hi,
Yes, I can confirm that you need to use the camel case format e.g. firstName. In the documentation you can find a lot of examples where this confirms https://docs.espocrm.com/administration/web-to-lead/. I guess the FIRST_NAME, it is like a pattern. Just take a look at the HTML form example:

var payloadData = {
    firstName: webToLeadFormElement.firstName.value,
    lastName: webToLeadFormElement.lastName.value,
    emailAddress: webToLeadFormElement.emailAddress.value
};

So here we have webToLeadFormElement.firstName.value, instead of FIRST_NAME.

OK so it's a guess of what another apps code could look like, in the Espo view one that uses ALL CAPS
it could be

firstName: firstname, or
firstName: FirstName,
etc.

I was afraid of that but thanks for the clear direction

So celebration time finally? You manage to get FA to work?

No still can't get it to work - i think because i need to pass this from formassembly -- maybe?

• Requests needs to have the header: Content-Type: application/json.

ahead of the remote URL with the API key and there doesn't appear to be a is no place to put that - or I can't figure out how to make it part of the URL (in the formassembly config above)

• The only thing that comes close to no error is -not- using a key and using Authentication - i gives a 200 response but creates nothing -
• i see "api user" in Admin with a username and key but FA wants username and password - tried it any way and also a no-go

Contact7 form has this in its response (among many other lines)

[x-powered-by] => PHP/7.2.34
[content-type] => application/json
[access-control-allow-origin] => *

So it is giving Espo what it requires and works perfectly.

Espo & formassembly for lead capture is still a no-go
