Set owner on contact creation?

[ahansson89]

Is it possible to define the owner when creating a contact?

Hi @ahansson89,

It is not possible while creating contact.

But you can do at next step after creating contact as per your requirements.

======================code for changing ================

$form_fields = array(
'owner_email' => urlencode("kol@gmail.com"), // Owner email you want to change
'contact_id' => urlencode("5740243672104960") // Contact id of which you want to change owner
);
$fields_string1 = '';
foreach ($form_fields as $key => $value) {
$fields_string1 .= $key . '=' . $value . '&';
}

$updatedContact = curl_wrap("contacts/change-owner", rtrim($fields_string1, '&'), "POST", "application/x-www-form-urlencoded");

echo $updatedContact;

=======================code end==================

Hi @rammohan-agile Thank you very much for those replies with the solution. Yes, they are helpful.
I do have questions regarding merging company and contacts. Should I create new issue or can you reopen this? Let me know, I think new issue maybe appropriate since it is different action.

hi @rammohan-agile thank you for your prompt reply.
Here is my scenario

• In our system we have say 3 company and each has users under them. All three are also in agilecrm as three separate company and users under each of them as contacts that matches our internal system.
• Now they want to merge all 3 company under one (first one). And move all users under one company.
• We have that feature that allows companies and underlying data such as users and data be merge under one company.
• Now we would like to do the same in agilecrm so we can merge those 3 companies under one (e.g. first company) and move all contacts from other two to this one.
  I know if agilecrm there is merge duplicate feature through agilecrm portal. I wanted to see if this is available via api as well so I can do the same using api call.
  Hope this clarifies, let me know.
