REST api to create subscription with draft status

[kramali4_fordsb]

what is the REST api to create subscription with draft status ?

My scenario is, create subscription with draft mode at the first call and then call later to set the activation (Contract Eff Date). This can be achieved in zuora UI, but I couldn't locate REST api for the same?

Please assist me on this how to handle my case ?

Thanks,

Krishnan

Edit...

When using the REST call to create a new subscription, the contract effective date is required and the other triggering dates are auto filled in, if not explicitly supplied.

Currently your only option with the API would be to use the SOAP subscribe call, which will let you create the subscription in DRAFT mode

PM is aware of this issue and will be brining the REST API's up to parity with the SOAP functionality

@kramali4_fordsb - check out the New Features webinar (October 27th at 10a PT / 1p ET) which will give an overview of enhancements to REST APIs. We had a sneak peek at it yesterday and it's pretty cool! The webinar will be interactive so you can ask Product Managers questions about the new features.

If you're not able to attend, register anyways as they'll be sending registrants a recording of the webinar afterwards.

Please see my edited original response.

You will need to use the SOAP API to accomplish this, although this is a known issue which will be addressed in the future

Hi Thanks for your update!

I tried with Subscription CRUD for create option. I kept getting the following error

   "Errors": [   {
      "Code": "INVALID_TYPE",
      "Message": "invalid type for create."

   "Success": false

Could you please help me to indetify the error and create CRUD subscription ?

Also I tried with soap ui as per Adam, that is working as expected.

Thanks,

Krishnan

Hi Krishnan,

Can you post the entire api call you made?  including http headers and the entire soap envelope if its SOAP?

Don't forget to remove any private info

thanks!
