How to create a new contact in Toky
Create contacts in Toky's phone directory to be used with the caller Id
Toky's phone directory is used by our virtual phone system to identify callers, and you can use this function to create contacts from your software in Toky.
API Endpoint used
Parameters you need to replace in the getTokyContacts function:
- [[TOKY_API_KEY]]: You can get the Toky API on this link: https://app.toky.co/business/my_account#api-key
- [[TOKY_AGENT_EMAIL]]: You must provide a valid Toky agent email as the contact creator.
Phone number must be unique
You can't create several contacts with the same phone number.
<?php
function createContact($phoneNumber, $created_by,$first_name,$last_name,$email){
// create a new cURL resource
$ch = curl_init();
$api_key = '[[TOKY_API_KEY]]';
$headers = array();
$headers[] = "X-Toky-Key: {$api_key}";
$data = array("number" => $phoneNumber,
"created_by"=> $created_by,
"first_name" => $first_name,
"last_name" => $last_name,
"email" => $email);
$json_data = json_encode($data);
// set URL and other appropriate options
curl_setopt($ch, CURLOPT_URL, "https://api.toky.co/v1/contacts/");
curl_setopt( $ch, CURLOPT_HTTPHEADER, $headers);
curl_setopt( $ch, CURLOPT_RETURNTRANSFER, true);
curl_setopt($ch, CURLOPT_CUSTOMREQUEST, "POST");
curl_setopt($ch,CURLOPT_POSTFIELDS, $json_data);
$curl_response = curl_exec($ch); // Send request
curl_close($ch); // close cURL resource
$return json_decode($curl_response,true);
}
$result= createContact('+18443326433','[[TOKY_AGENT_EMAIL]]','Jhon','Doe','[email protected]');
print "Contact creation result: "; var_export($result);
?>
