The create user api post should allow for the external_id variable to be passed in so when creating a user via api I can link that user with my system ID. Not sure why that is not already there. Seems like a necessity.
I concur, this would be super useful. I was also surprised it didn't already work
We've released new API features including external_id support in Create/Update user endpoints. Feel free to give it a try.
Was that recently? I tried to include external_id in create Users a couple weeks ago and it didn't appear to work. Maybe I passed the id as a number rather than string or vice versa.
Yes, new API released yesterday.
I just tested the create api and it was not working. I should probably make a support ticket then?
We had to enable that field. Please give it a try again. Should be editable now.
Thanks, that worked.
