Usage Notes

​
Updating additionalInfo

The additionalInfo field uses merge/upsert behavior:
  • New keys are added to the existing additionalInfo
  • Existing keys are updated with new values
  • To delete a key, set its value to null
{
  "additionalInfo": {
    "newKey": "newValue", // Adds new key
    "existingKey": "updated", // Updates existing key
    "oldKey": null // Removes this key
  }
}

​
Follow-up Configuration

The followUpConfig defines the follow-up schedule. Each step must include both hours and channel: 
{
  "followUpConfig": {
    "1": { "hours": 24, "channel": "text" },
    "2": { "hours": 72, "channel": "email" },
    "3": { "hours": 168, "channel": "call", "voicemailEnabled": true }
  }
}
Allowed channels: text, call, email Optional properties:
  • voicemailEnabled (boolean): Only valid for call channel. If true, leaves a voicemail when call is not answered.
Channel requirements: - text: Always available (SMS) - call: Requires voice to be enabled on the customer profile - email: Requires email to be enabled on both the customer profile and organization
To stop all follow-ups for a lead, set followUpConfig to an empty object {} . This will cancel any scheduled follow-ups and set the lead to STOPPED state.

​
Follow-up Scheduling Behavior

When updating followUpStep and/or followUpConfig, the timer always resets to now + hours:
  1. Update followUpStep only: Schedules that specific step
  2. Update followUpConfig only: Reschedules with new timing, preserving the current step
  3. Update both: Full reset with the new config starting at the specified step

​
Special followUpStep Values

  • Positive integers (1, 2, 3, …): Schedule that specific follow-up step
  • -1 (STOPPED): Stops all follow-ups for this lead
  • -2 (LONG_TERM): Moves lead to long-term nurture mode
