I am able to see a startDate through a GET call for relationship, raised support ticket to Reltio about it.
Thanks everyone, I appreciate your prompt responses.

Venu,
- Please do check the physical configuration for the external Queue. Verify that startDate is enabled for Relationship Created
- Check the payload using getRelations and verify that startDate is part of relationship incoming payload.
If you still see the issues, please log a support ticket.
Thanks,

Thanks for the response @Petya Kotova,
- we already have the Snapshot (with all fields) setting enabled in our tenant configuration. However, I'm still not seeing the
startDate
included in the event message. I'm using the following API call to create a person:
POST {{mdm_url}}/dealer/{{reltioDealerId}}/person
In this call, we're passing the dealer into the attributes using reltioDealerId
, and this creates a Relationship_created
message - but it doesn't include the startDate
.
We want the startDate
to be present in the relationship event, but without making a separate API call just to create the relationship with startDate
.
Is there a way to pass startDate
in this flow so that it appears in the Relationship_created
event message - without having to explicitly create the relationship in a second API call? below one is a postman call
{ "Person": { "attributes": { "firstName": "sam", "lastName": "MDMtest", "displayName": "sam M. MDMtest", "title": "Mr.", "status": "Active", "roles": [ "cLIent aDMIn", "DeAlEr mANagEr", "SalES associate", "CLIENT manAGeR" ], "preferredLanguage": "en-US", "timezone": "UTC+0100_CentralEurope", "email": "sam.MDM-User@email.com", "clientId": "qwe2345", "clientCode": "ABC", "identifiers": { "userLogin": "MDMtest.sam@email.com" } }, "crosswalks": [ { "type": "IDM", "value": "30042025", "sourceTable": "MDM" } ] }}

Hello Venu,
1. Is there a way to ensure that the RELATIONSHIP_CREATED
event includes the startDate
when sent to SQS?
To include the Start Date in your SQS events, switch your queue's payload type to Snapshot. You can choose either:
Here's how to update it:
Open the Reltio Console
Go to Tenant Management → External Queues
Click the ✏️ (Edit) icon next to your queue
Under Payload type, select either Snapshot (with selected fields, and add Start Date to the list) or Snapshot (with all fields)
Click Save
That's it-your RELATIONSHIP_CREATED events will now include the Start Date.
2. When relationships are automatically created via the reference attribute (dealerName
), is there a way to include the startDate
by default-without making a separate API call to explicitly create the relationship?
When you create a relationship using a reference attribute, Reltio emits a RELATIONSHIP_CREATED event. To include your custom startDate enable the "Start Date" field in the Reltio Console under Tenant Management. Ideally, every streamed RELATIONSHIP_CREATED event will include the startDate. To help me troubleshoot, could you please share an example of the payload you're using to create the relationship via the reference attribute?
Regards,

Subject: Missing startDate in RELATIONSHIP_CREATED Events for Auto-Created Relationships via Reference Attributes
We have two Entity Types in our Reltio environment: Person and Dealer. The Person entity type has a reference attribute called dealerName
, which points to the Dealer entity. This creates a dealer_employs_person
relationship.
When we create the relationship via the API, the response includes the startDate
as expected. However, the RELATIONSHIP_CREATED
event sent to our SQS queue does not include the startDate
.
I have two questions:
- Is there a way to ensure that the
RELATIONSHIP_CREATED
event includes the startDate
when sent to SQS? - When relationships are automatically created via the reference attribute (
dealerName
), is there a way to include the startDate
by default-without making a separate API call to explicitly create the relationship?
Any insights or suggestions would be greatly appreciated!
