I am using mautic-node npm module for contacting mautic REST API from node.js.My aim is to create a contact from my app in mautic dashboard using mautic REST API,but i am facing issue in creating contact from node.js.Please help me to figure out this.
var mautic = require('mautic-api-node');
var request = require('request');
var config = require('../config/config.js');
var request = require('request');
exports.saveContact = (req, res) => {
queryParameters = JSON.stringify(req.body);
var username = "mauticUsername";
var password = "mauticPassword";
var auth = "Basic " + new Buffer.from(username + ":" +
password).toString("base64");
var options = {
url: 'https://mautic-url/api/contacts/new',
method: "POST",
form: queryParameters,
headers: {
"Authorization": auth
}
};
request(options, (error, response, body) => {
if (error) console.log(error);
console.log("Body", body);
})
}
I am passing this request body to backend:-
{
"firstname":"firstname",
"ipAddress":"Ipaddress",
"lastname":"lastname",
"email":"email"
}

This is the response of GET contacts API i guess so i am confused why i am getting GET API response while doing POST request to contact API please help me to figure out this issue.

Answer 1

As you can see in the picture, when you create a new contact along with response status code it returns the properties as well which are similar to "Get Contact" request(as you will get when you get contact by id). So I think as long as your new contact is being created in mautic you shouldn't be worried.
