Pushing Remote Field ClassesBeta
Use the relevant Merge POST endpoint for a particular Common Model, with your desired Remote Field Class values included in your request body.
For pushing values for standard fields, use the standard Merge Common Model fields, or if needed, Linked Account or Integration parameters.
There are two key pieces for writing to custom fields using Merge:
- The Merge ID of the Remote Field Class, which you can retrieve from the /remote-field-classes endpoint for that model
- The value that you want to push to the third-party for that field
When sending a POST request to the /contacts endpoint, for example, these two data points should be included in the request body under the remote_fields
array.
Once your POST request is successful, you can access your Remote Field Class metadata and values for the contact you just created by following our guide for pulling Remote Field Class Data.
You will also be able to see the custom field values you just wrote to the third-party on the relevant UI, as shown in this example from Hubspot.
