The channel by which an interaction occurs.

The content and attributes of the message sent. Normally in JSON format.

An identifier of an existing contact.

The ID of a Loan. This marks a particular loan as associated with this interaction.

The IDs of several loans. This marks several loans as associated with this interaction.

The subject of the interaction. The subject identifies the category of the content in the message.

Most subjects have an associated implicit theme. e.g., loanOverdueFirstNotice has a theme of opsCollDebt. For these subjects it is not necessary to specify a theme.

Some subjects like freeForm and custom<N> do not have an implicit theme. When using these subjects you must specify a theme.

The reason why an interaction occurred.

For example:

• An outbound debt collection call should be marked as opsCollDebt.
• An annual privacy policy update email should be marked as opsServicing.
• A customer service response to borrower's inquiry should be marked as opsServicing.
• Statements or payment reminders should be marked as outOpsLoan.

The values inbHumanLove and inbBug are deprecated; use inbGeneralInquiry instead.

Set this flag if this interaction has sensitive information. The flag is used for proper authorization of access to the information.

Boolean indicating the source of an Interaction. If true, the interaction was supplied by the lender via API. If false, the interaction was created by Peach.

The lender's identifier for the interaction.

After the object is successfully created, a lender can use ID or externalId identifiers to fetch the object.

To fetch the object using externalId you need to add ext- to the URL.

Note: Don't add ext- to the identifier value. For example: if the external identifier is ABCDE, then pass externalId=ACBCE and NOT ext-ABCDE when creating the object.

If a previous interaction identifier is provided, the current and previous interactions will be linked. This can either be Peach's or a lender's external identifier.

The status of an interaction.

status is important, as it can impact future interactions. For instance, in jurisdictions which cap the number of outbound collection communications to a borrower, status=failed interactions do not count against the legal allotment.

Interaction status can be updated as the interaction status changes. For example, when an email is sent, set the status to attempted. If the email is opened, set the status to succeeded. If the email bounces, set the status to failed. attempted is assumed to be a successful interaction. Optionally, you can also use 'statusDetails' to provide additional details about status.

In-Progress interactions

Some interactions—like an email—take place at a single point in time, others might be ongoing for many minutes—like a phone call.

Ongoing interactions like voice and chat may have their status set to inProgress.

Scheduled interactions

Some interactions might be scheduled for the future. These interactions have a status of scheduled. If this scheduled interaction is unscheduled then it has a status of canceled.

Null

Note that null is not a valid status name but rather can be used to specify a query for interactions with a status of null

true when this interaction is considered "transactional".

Transactional interactions are those which are sent via an automated system in response to an event or some action taken. e.g., an email sent to confirm a payment was made is transactional; likewise an email sent to confirm a password change is transacrtional. Examples of non-transactional messages would be: those sent by an agent in response to a customer request, for collections, or for marketing.

It's important to mark these messages correctly, because different laws may apply to messages depending on if they're considered "transactional".

Note: Can be null for interactions sent before the transactional-ness was added to the API.

This should not include any ext- prefix as we know this is an external ID field.
