Business Contact Categories

[tlambert]

I know the documentation on Ellie Mae has a list of possible categoryId's but you can add a new category in Encompass (Settings/Contact Setup/Business Categories) which we have a few and there is no way to create a business contact with that field being tied to an enum. The api will take a string so can you change that to a string so it will take either the enum value or a string? I don't see anything published on creating or getting a list of categories through the api but was able to get the id by pulling a test contact. Not a priority but wanted to submit it as an option.

I'm not sure how that's supported by the API, since it expects an integer and not a string. So you're sure it accepts a string? If so we should be able to change the parameter to a StringEnumValue<BusinessContactCategory> instead.

well it is an int but the docs for create contact says categoryid is a string. ( https://docs.developer.elliemae.com/reference#create-contact-business) they really need to update that :)
