CreateObjectEx Method

Sample Code for creating a Lead using the CreateObjectEx method of CampusNexus CRM COF iService.

In the following sample code we will be creating an item of the Lead Object, which is a custom Team type of Object in CampusNexus CRM, with the following Properties details:

  • Name - John Peter

  • Campus - Lake District

  • Team - Lake District

  • E-mail – John@WorldWaves.com

  • SSN - 323-54-9867

  • Phone – 566-523-4352

  • Method of contact – Walk–In

    The Method of contact Property is an enumerated Property. For this Property, you must pass the ID of the index of the enumerated value of this Property as the value. For example, the ID of the index of the Walk-In enumerated value of the Method of contact Property is 4. You must pass 4 as the value for the Method of contact Property.

    For information on finding the ID of the index of an enumerated Property value, see Querying Main Database.

Additionally, we will be passing additional parameter values to ignore the mandatory check and to allow update of read-only Properties.
