Reltio Connect

Hey!
I was wondering if I could create a reference entity inside an entity, when using the entity api.


If I send the json body above, the entity Counterparty is created with the reference entity Address. From the response, the crosswalk for Address has Reltio type and a generated value.


Is it possible to set our own crosswalk type and value for reference entity Address without using the relation api?

Hi Minh,

Thanks for asking this question.

And yes, its possible to specify the refEntity crosswalk in the POST Entity API payload. Please see the below example

[
	{
		"type": "configuration/entityTypes/Organization",
		"attributes": {
			"Name": [
				{
					"value": "Facebook"
				}
			],
			"Address": [
				{
					"value": {
						"AddressLine1": [
							{
								"value": "1601 Willow Rd"
							}
						],
						"City": [
							{
								"value": "Menlo Park"
							}
						],
						"StateProvince": [
							{
								"value": "United States"
							}
						],
						"Country": [
							{
								"value": "CA"
							}
						],
						"Zip": [
							{
								"value": {
									"Zip5": [
										{
											"value": "94025"
										}
									]
								}
							}
						]
					},
					"refEntity": {
						"crosswalks": [
							{
								"type": "configuration/sources/Salesforce",
								"value": "Surrogate"
							}
						]
					}
				}
			],
			"DUNSNumber": [
				{
					"value": "123456789"
				}
			]
		},
		"crosswalks": [
			{
				"type": "configuration/sources/Salesforce",
				"value": "RefAttributeTestOrg1"
			}
		]
	}
]​

Please let me know if this helps!

It solved my problem.

Thank you, Snehil!

Is it possible to set startDate and endDate for refEntity too?
