Don't have an account?
Dineshram All,
Please let me know, how do I link Contact to an Account through webservices API.
I am able to create contact through API, but not able to link to an Account.
Tried updating setContacts in Account(to existing account), after creating the contact. But, no luck.
Any pointers are appreciated.
Thanks.
You have to set AccountId field on Contact. Which will make sure to link contact with account.
As follows .... while you creating contact.
Contact con = new Contact();
.
.
con.AccountId = ACCOUNT_ID_VARIABLE;
.
.
Where you have to replace ACCOUNT_ID_VARIABLE with appropriate Account SFDC Id.
Hope this would help.
Cheers,
V.R.
