This tutorial is in order to send your first P2 request using the version 1.0 of Sandbox Botdoc API. In order to use this version, you have to put “v1” on the API’s endpoint.

To a better understanding about the versioning, please go to https://api.botdoc.io/documentation/#section/Get-Started/Versioning
and to a better understanding about the Sandbox, please go to https://api.botdoc.io/documentation/#section/Get-Started/Sandbox-Platform

Instructions

The first thing you need to understand is every request MUST have a token:
Thus, no matter what endpoint, you always need to pass the token on the header that looks like the following:
Authorization: JWT your-token-here

1 - Create a Container:

Botdoc P2 Container is a session with multiple secure Features inside of it, with P2 you can make a Flow automation or just a simple file "push", "pull", “DocuSign” or “External URL”.

Endpoint: https://api.botdoc.io/v1/module_container/container/
Method: POST.

Example of the body in JSON format:

Code Block

language	json

{
    "page_type": "p2",
    "callback_url": "https://link.to.your.callback.url",
    "display_chat": true
}

Example how to create a Container by cURL:

Code Block

language	json

curl -i --request POST "https://api.botdoc.io/v1/module_container/container/" \
--header "Authorization: JWT <Authorization Token>" \
--header "Content-Type: application/json" \
--data-raw "{
    "page_type": "p2",
    "callback_url": "https://link.to.your.callback.url",
    "display_chat": true
}"

1.2 - Create a Container with a Requester:

To create a Container with a Requester attached, is simple, first of all, you need to create a Requester, if you don't have any Requester registered, follow the link: How to create a Requester

After that, we need to create a new Container adding our Requester, the process is simple, follow:

Endpoint: https://api.botdoc.io/v1/module_container/container/
Method: POST.

Example of the body in JSON format:

Code Block

language	json

{
    "page_type": "p2",
    "requester": {requester_id}
}

Example how to create a Container with a Requester by cURL:

Code Block

language	json

curl -i --request POST "https://api.botdoc.io/v1/module_container/container/" \
--header "Authorization: JWT <Authorization Token>" \
--header "Content-Type: application/json" \
--data-raw "{
    "page_type": "p2",
    "requester": {requester_id}
}"

Note
Remember that, whenever a Container with a Requester attached to it is sent, the Requester is duplicated to a table RequesterContainer, to keep the data concise with the data on the day and time of the Container was sent, in case of this requester is modified or even deleted.

2 - Define Recipient(s):

After the Secure Container was created, you need to create the Recipient(s) of your Secure Container.
Endpoint: https://api.botdoc.io/v1/module_container/container/{container_id}/recipient/
Method: POST.

Example of the body in JSON format:

Code Block

language	json

{
   "first_name": "John",
   "last_name": "Smith"
}

Example how to create a Recipient by cURL:

Code Block

language	json

curl -i --request POST "https://api.botdoc.io/v1/module_container/container/{container_id}/recipient/" \
--header "Authorization: JWT <Authorization Token>" \
--header "Content-Type: application/json" \
--data-raw "{
   "first_name": "John",
   "last_name": "Smith"
}
"

3 - Define your RecipientItem(s)

Now, we need to add our RecipientItem linked to the Recipient in the Step 2.
Endpoint: https://api.botdoc.io/v1/module_container/recipient/{recipient_id}/recipient_item/
Method: POST.

Example of the body in JSON format:

Code Block

language	json

{
   "interface_class": "email", //can be "email" or "sms"
   "value": "myemail@botdoc.io"
}

Example how to create a Recipient Item by cURL:

Code Block

language	json

curl -i --request POST "https://api.botdoc.io/v1/module_container/recipient/{recipient_id}/recipient_item/" \
--header "Authorization: JWT <Authorization Token>" \
--header "Content-Type: application/json" \
--data-raw "{
   "interface_class": "email",
   "value": "myemail@botdoc.io"
}
"

4 - Set an AuthCode

Now, if you want, you can protect your Secure Container with Two Factor Authentication.
Endpoint: https://api.botdoc.io/v1/module_container/authcode/
Method: POST.

Example of the body in JSON format:

Code Block

language	json

{
    "container": "{container_id}",
    "send_as": "email", //can be "email" or "sms"
    "to": "myemail@botdoc.io"
}

Example how to create an AuthCode by cURL:

Code Block

language	json

curl -i --request POST "https://api.botdoc.io/v1/module_container/authcode/" \
--header "Authorization: JWT <Authorization Token>" \
--header "Content-Type: application/json" \
--data-raw "{
    "container": "{container_id}",
    "send_as": "email", 
    "to": "myemail@botdoc.io"
}"

5 - Define Email Message

Now, you must inform the Email Message if in the previewer step the transport method was sent to Email.
Endpoint: https://api.botdoc.io/v1/module_container/container/{container_id}/email/
Method: POST.

Example of the body in JSON format:

Code Block

language	json

{
    "subject": "nice subject",
    "body": "a nice message here"
}

--header "Authorization: JWT <Authorization Token>" \
--header "Content-Type: application/json" \
--data-raw "{
    "subject": "nice subject",
    "body": "a nice message here"
}"
