How to set "Activity" for Task through API ?

Hi,

 

I'm using enterprise API version 15.0 for synchronizing contacts and calls to SalesForce account with .NET (C#). The problem is that I can't find any option to set the "Activity" of a Task through API. I want to set the activity of a Task to "Call". The option is available on the website. Is it possible to do so? please help.

 

Thank you.

That's the Type field.  Set the Type field.

Even though the documentation lists the "Type" field, I can't find it in the enterprise.wsdl ver.15.0

It's there.  Maybe you don't have field level security to see it.

check FLS, its hidden by default in a lot of the signup templates.

The problem right now is that the enterprise wsdl file is provided by an indirect client. I searched the whole wsdl file and could not find "Type" field. I don't have admin level account access. So anyone have a suggestion?

 

Thank you

"check FLS, its hidden by default in a lot of the signup templates."

I'm new to SalesForce. I do not understand what FLS is and don't know about signup templates. Could you please explain that in detail?

Thank you.

FLS == Field Level Security. If the field is set to hidden it won't appear in the WSDL. Once you've updated the FLS settings, download a new WSDL.

The Type field is on the Task object, not on the Contact object.  You might think about downloading Force.com Explorer to explore the data model rather than trying to eyeball the WSDL.
