Updating user's "Other teams" via Custom API call (or adding them to a Team)

Question

Hi everyone,

I'm trying to update dynamically user's Teams ("Other teams", not home team) with custom API call as I can't find suitable default option neither in Update User module, nor Update Teams module.

I'm able to pull current user's team(s) and add a new team to the collection, but when I try to update user with this new value (collection), I get an error:

Any thought on how this can be resolved? Or maybe other ideas how I can either add certain users to the Team or add Team (as Other team) to certain users

I'd appreciate any suggestions

Thank you!

If you are still having problems with this, then here is how I do it.

Get the current teams membership for the user you want to update (under collections in builtin call, or include "fields: teams" on custom api call
Check if user is already in target team
Make a PUT call to the user you are wanting to add to the team.
In the body of the call, include this:

{"teams": [

{this is all the users current teams},

{"ID": "the ID of the new team you want to add"}]}

Hi,

as there seems to be no concrete action for any possible end point, I think you will need to work with a classical PUT request to the endpoint TEAMOB using the Custom API call module.

https://instance.my.workfront.com/attask/api/v18.0/ID=<teamID>

Therefore you have to send all team members again using this example payload:

{

    'teamMembers': [{
                    "userID": "<userID of first user>"
                },
                {
                    "userID": "<userID of second user>"
                },
                {
                    "userID": "<userID of third user>"
                }, ...
]
}
