June 2020 API Update

While we update our API regularly, one of our top priorities is to maintain a consistent level of service for our integration partners. This means that, as a general rule, we strive to implement changes that are not breaking changes, and that allow existing integrations to continue to work as-is. In those rare cases when we do introduce a potential breaking change, we'll be sure to call that out to you here.

Without further ado, here's what's coming in our June 2020 release, which will go live next Monday night (June 22nd):

We've updated some endpoints to add character limits for specific fields. These updates apply to the following endpoints and fields:

/api/Contact POST/PUT

/api/ContactIndividual POST/PUT

/api/ContactAddress POST/PUT

We've also updated Event Invitation endpoints:

As always, if you have any questions about these or other features, feel free to contact our team using the support widget in Virtuous, or drop us a line at support@virtuoussoftware.com.
