Create a manual activity

POST/clients/{clientId}/activitiesCreate a manual activity

Creates a manual activity for the client. The server always forces source to manual — activities created through the API are manual by definition (the source/operation matrix only permits creating manual activities). A request body that sets source to anything other than manual is rejected with 400 invalid_argument rather than silently overridden.

participants is a flat list of email addresses, stored email-only (no display name, no automatic linking to existing contacts). occurredAt defaults to the current time when omitted.

Parameters

clientIdstring · uuidpathrequired

Client UUID.

Request body

required

application/json

objectActivityCreate

Request body for creating a manual activity. The server forces `source` to `manual`; when present it must equal `manual`.

contentstring

Free-text body, stored as the activity's single message. Optional.

occurredAtstring · date-time

When the activity occurred. Defaults to now when omitted.

participantsarray of string · email

Email-only participant list (no display names, no contact linking).

sourcestring

Optional; must be `manual` if provided. The server forces `manual` regardless.

Option 2object

dataobject

A communication event linked to a client. Projected from Salfio's Conversation + messages + conversation_clients model family. The `clientId` is the "primary" client derived from the junction table — a conversation linked to multiple clients is surfaced once per linked client (from the list endpoints of each). `content` is the full concatenated body of all messages on the conversation, joined by `\n\n---\n\n` — single-resource GETs never truncate it. It is returned only on single-resource GETs; list endpoints omit it for response-size reasons. Webhook delivery payloads cap `content` at 10 KiB (with a `[content truncated at 10 KiB]` marker) — fetch the activity by ID when you need the full text. `immutable` is derived server-side: non-`manual` sources are always immutable on the v1 surface (per the spec source/operation matrix).
