Authorizations

• x-access-tokenstringheader

  Organization API token. Generate from Organization Settings → API Tokens.

• AuthorizationBearer <token>headeror

  OAuth 2.1 access token. Obtained via the OAuth PKCE flow at /oauth/token.

Send one of these. See Authentication.

Path parameters

• eventIdintegerpathrequired

  The event ID.

Request body

application/jsonrequired

Request body for bulk create/update/delete operations.

Operations are applied in request order, each in its own transaction, and results[i] describes operations[i]. A failed operation is rolled back whole and does not stop the ones after it.

• operationsobject[]required

  Array of operations to execute (max 100).

  Max items

  100

  Show child attributes

  • actionstringrequired

    The operation to perform.

    Allowed values

    "create", "update", "delete"

  • idstring<uuid>

    Entity ID. Required for update and delete actions.

  • dataobject

    Entity-specific fields. Required for create and update actions. Session create supports is_abstract (boolean, default false). is_abstract cannot be changed on update.

    data takes the same fields as the matching single-record create/update endpoint, including custom_fields and translated_fields. A translated_fields entry for a language the event has not enabled fails that operation with 400 and rolls it back — it is no longer accepted and discarded.

    custom_fields is honoured on the contacts, sessions, exhibitors and sponsors bulk endpoints. An unknown internal_name, a value of the wrong type, or a field owned by an integration fails that operation only — the operations around it in the same batch still commit.

    Exception — draft sessions. POST /event/{eventId}/agenda-drafts/{draftId}/sessions/bulk does not accept custom_fields, and neither does its single-record sibling. A draft session is a scheduling placement of an existing session inside a draft agenda, not a record of its own, so it has no custom fields to write. Set custom fields on the underlying session through /event/{eventId}/sessions.

Example

    {

Responses

200application/json

Bulk operation completed

Response body for bulk operations, including per-item results.

• batch_idstring<uuid>

  Unique identifier for this bulk batch.

• resultsobject[]

  Per-operation results in the same order as the request.

  Show child attributes

  • indexinteger

    Zero-based index of the operation in the request array.

  • actionstring

    The action that was performed (create, update, delete).

  • statusstring

    Whether this individual operation succeeded or failed.

    Most bulk endpoints report success or error. The contacts bulk endpoint instead names the outcome: created, associated (the email already existed in the organization and was linked to this event), updated, deleted, or error. Treat anything other than error as a success.

    Allowed values

    "success", "created", "associated", "updated", "deleted", "error"

  • idstring<uuid>

    The ID of the created or affected entity.

  • errorobject | string

    Error details, present only when status is error.

    An object with code and message on most bulk endpoints. On the contacts bulk endpoint error is a plain string and the code is returned alongside it as error_code; that difference is longstanding and is kept so existing callers reading the string keep working.

    Option 1

    • codestring

      Machine-readable error code.

    • messagestring

      Human-readable error description.

    • valid_optionsstring[]

      Present only when code is TYPE_MISMATCH on a dropdown field: every value the field accepts, one array entry per option, in the field's option order. An option label can itself contain a comma ("Banana, Chocolate"), so read this array rather than splitting the list in message. Absent on every other error.

    Option 2

    Human-readable error description (contacts bulk).

    string

  • error_codestring

    Machine-readable error code. Returned by the contacts bulk endpoint alongside the string error.

• summaryobject

  Aggregate counts for the batch. This page previously named the object stats; every bulk endpoint has always returned it as summary.

  Show child attributes

  • totalinteger

    Total number of operations in the batch.

  • succeededinteger

    Number of operations that succeeded — every row whose status is not error, including the contacts bulk endpoint's created, associated, updated and deleted.

  • failedinteger

    Number of operations that failed.

403
