Autoloaders (by API)

8 August 9, 2024

New franchise Candidates can automatically load into FZM, using the FZM restful API. This means you don’t have to manually key them in. They can come from your website, or Social Media pages and campaigns.

The API allows you to submit (POST) a Candidate to FZM. When the function is called your BSVName and PIN parameters are checked and if passed a new Candidate record will be created with the provided parameters.

You do not need to use all parameters, note there are four optional fields to suit any unique requirements you may have.

A few notes:

  • All submissions must have the Header
  • Content-Type: application/json
  • API endpoints have a timeout set of 5 seconds
  • All string parameters should not include any special characters eg < > & % “ ‘ *
