gocanvas

gocanvas_create_dispatch

WRITE: creates a dispatch, a job that appears on the assignee's mobile device (immediate_dispatch is sent at once, with a push notification when send_notification is true; scheduled_dispatch needs scheduled_at and scheduled_end). Responses pre-fill the assignee's form (entry ids from gocanvas_get_form). Without assignee_id the dispatch stays unassigned. Not idempotent: calling twice creates two dispatches. Media fields cannot be pre-filled.

gocanvas_get_dispatch

One dispatch by id with its pre-filled responses, schedule and status.

gocanvas_get_form

One form definition, including its screens and entries (field ids and labels). Use format 'flat' for the simplest list of fields (what you need to read submissions or create a dispatch), 'nested' (default) for the full structure, 'metadata' or 'minimal' for less.

gocanvas_get_me

The user who owns the connected OAuth application: id, login, company id and name, default department and role. Use it to learn the default department id.

gocanvas_get_reference_data

One reference data set with its rows.

gocanvas_get_submission

One submission with all its responses (entry id, label, type, value). Accepts the numeric submission id or the client GUID.

gocanvas_get_user

One user by id: name, login, contact data, default department and role.

gocanvas_list_customers

Customers (contacts of the Project Management view): individuals or businesses, optionally tied to a site. Paged.

gocanvas_list_department_users

The users in one department with their department role.

gocanvas_list_departments

Departments of the company: id, name, description. The pseudo department -1 'All' is included.

gocanvas_list_dispatches

Dispatches (jobs sent to field workers): id, form, assignee, status, schedule. At least one of user_id, department_id or form_id is required. Dates are ISO-8601. Paged.

gocanvas_list_form_reports

The report (PDF) definitions attached to a form: id, name, format, whether emailed by default. Paged.

gocanvas_list_forms

Forms (mobile form definitions) the connected user can see: id, name, status, version, department. Paged, 100 per page. Use gocanvas_get_form for a form's fields (entries).

gocanvas_list_groups

User groups: id, name, and the forms and users assigned. Paged.

gocanvas_list_locations

GPS location events of field users (needs the tracker feature). start_date and end_date are required and may span at most 7 days. Omit user_id for all users of the company. Paged.

gocanvas_list_projects

Projects of the Project Management view. Paged.

gocanvas_list_reference_data

Reference data (lookup tables used by forms): id, name, columns, version. Without department_id the user's default department is used.

gocanvas_list_sites

Sites (job locations) of the Project Management view. Paged.

gocanvas_list_submission_revisions

The revision history of a submission (who changed it and when). Paged.

gocanvas_list_submissions

Completed forms (submissions): id, form, number, created time, department, user, status. At least one of form_id, user_id or user_email is required (user_id and user_email cannot be combined). Default status is completed. Dates filter created_at. Paged, 100 per page. Use gocanvas_get_submission for the answers.

gocanvas_list_users

Users of the company: id, name, email, enabled. Paged, 100 per page.

gocanvas_list_workflows

Workflows (handoff chains between users) the connected user takes part in, with their handoff states and the count of tasks available to claim. Paged.

gocanvas_mark_dispatch_received

WRITE: acknowledges a dispatch (status becomes received). Only works for a dispatch in the assigned state that is assigned to the connected user; repeating it is refused by GoCanvas.
