These guides cover how to write data to third-party platforms
For convenience, we’ve broken up the journey of learning how to write data to third-party platforms into Basic and Advanced topics.
In our Basic topics, we introduce universal concepts that allow you to execute writes for most — but not all — third-party platforms and Linked Accounts.
Make POST requests to Merge to write data to third-party platforms
Write data to third-party platforms with relations to existing and new Common Model instances
Writes are unified across all of our third-party platforms. However, some platforms require an additional piece of Merge’s advanced functionality — explored in Advanced Writes below — to support them.
In our Advanced topics, we introduce programmatic concepts that make heavy use of an endpoint we call /meta to handle writes for all third-party platforms and Linked Accounts.
Use /meta to programmatically form and validate POST requests to write standardized or integration / Linked Account-specific model fields
Use /meta to create related Common Model instances (through nesting) with standardized or integration / Linked Account-specific fields
Use /meta to determine which specific model fields are available based on your user’s input in another field
