Add Employee

Request URL

POST /customer/add-employee

Description

This endpoint can be used to add an employee to a business customer. The term "employee" refers to an individual entity who is employed by the business customer. The term "business representative" refers to an entity that is specifically designated as a principal owner or authorized signer for the business.

Before an individual can be added to a business as an employee, the potential employee must first exist in the connectFi system as an individual customer entity. Therefore, a /customer/init request with "customerType": "individual" and the potential employee's details in the customer personal object is a pre-requisite to making a /customer/add-employee request.

After adding the potential employee to the connectFi system using /customer/init, the individual customerId that is returned will be included as the "employeeId" in the /customer/add-employee request. The business customerId will be included as the "companyId" in the /customer/add-employee request.
