External identifiers

External Identifiers (remote_id)

To facilitate integration between your system and Dashdoc, most API resources support an optional remote_id field.

You can set this field to your own internal identifier when creating or updating a resource. This allows you to:

• Link Dashdoc resources with your internal objects.

• Avoid storing a mapping table of Dashdoc IDs on your side.

Once set, you can also use remote_id to retrieve or update objects in a consistent way.

Note: Not all resources support remote_id. Please refer to the resource reference for a detailed list.
