User Management Api Implementation Manual

Table of contents

Introduction

For all loyalty-related processes it is important to identify the person the system is interacting with. The central object in Convercus api for this identification is the account you can collect points on. This account can be linked to user-data, transactions, bookings, etc. Every account has a unique identifier, the accountId (e.g. 7d123457-bfa1-4a83-8213-123456789763), which is the technical ID all those connections are made with.

Additionally, every account can have multiple identifiers (i.e. card-codes, external identification-codes, etc.), which allow to make a connection to an account without the need to extract the account-id.

This documentation will explain the creation and maintanance of accounts, users, identifiers and memberships step-by-step and demonstrate, how all can be linked together to create a fully-fledged customer profile.

Technical information about the Convercus Api can be found at the following sites

and on the Devoloper Page

General Information

Authentification

Every request requires a JWT-Token for authentication. The token can be obtained with the following request:

curl --location --request POST '{{api_url}}/auth/login' \
--header 'Content-Type: application/json' \
--data-raw '{
  "org": "{{org}}",
  "userName": "{{userName}}",
  "password": "{{password}}"
}'

where the following variables have been used:

Variable

Description

{{api_url}}

Endpoint of the api.

{{org}}

Organization code for correct mapping.

This value will be given by Convercus.

{{userName}}

User-Name of the api-user.

This value will be given by Convercus.

{{password}}

User-Password of the api-user.

This value will be given by Convercus.

The JWT-Token can be found in the body of the response.

Note, that the token expires after 24 hours. To have a valid token at all times, it is necessary to generate the token on a regular basis.

Loyalty Elements Overview

Note, that due to structure of the platform, there are essentially three objects which contain information about the user, his account and membership. Depending on the set of information you are interested in, you may need to create and maintain all of them.

  • account:

    • This is the central element of the loyalty system.

    • Every account has its unique accountId. All relevant loyalty-processes can be linked to this id.

    • N identifiers of different id-type may serve as additional external identifiers for an account. Usually, these identifiers are Cardcodes or external numbers (like a online-shop-id).

    • Accounts can be anonymous, if they don’t have user-information connected (see membership).

  • user:

    • This is the object which contains personal user-data like name, address, etc.

    • User data may be created independently from an account. Without the connection to an account (see membership) however, there is no way to interact with this data in a loyalty context (e.g. you cannot earn points on a user, but an account.)

  • membership:

    • This object connects an account to a user object.

    • The creation of a membership is typically the result of a completed registration.

    • Optins for the program are related to this object.

A straight-forward implementation of this will be explained in the following.

Accounts

Creating Accounts

To earn points with the loyalty system, the customer needs an account. This account can later be linked (with a membership) to a user profile that contains user data. However, this is optional and loyalty points can be obtained and spent with an (anonymous) account by itself.

To create an account, use:

curl --location --request POST '{{api_url}}/accounts' \
--header 'interaction-id: {{interactionId}}' \
--header 'Authorization: {{jwt_token}}' \
--header 'Content-Type: application/json' \

with

Variable

Description

{{api_url}}

Endpoint of the api.

{{jwt_token}}

The JWT-token, which has been generated by authentication.

{{interactionId}}

Unique Identifier of the cash machine (or virtual equivalent, e.g. online-shop), which produced the receipt.

This ID has to be listed in the Convercus System as with this ID, the connection to the call origin is made.

The account will be created in the database and is assigned an accountId, which can be obtained from the response’s header section Location:

Location

{{api_url}}/accounts/accountId

Getting Account Details

As stated before, the account is the center of the whole loyalty system. The accountId can be used as common connection ID for practically all loyalty connections.

You can get the basic account information with the following request:

curl --location --request GET '{{api_url}}/accounts/{{accountId}}' \
--header 'Authorization: {{jwt_token}}' \
--header 'interaction-id: {{interactionId}}' \
--header 'id-type: {{idType}}' \
--header 'Content-Type: application/json' \

with variables

Variable

Description

{{api_url}}

Endpoint of the api.

{{accountId}}

ID of the account that needs to be checked.

The ID has to be given in the format, that is dictated by the {{idType}},

{{jwt_token}}

The JWT-token, which has been generated by authentication.

{{interactionId}}

Unique Identifier of the cash machine (or virtual equivalent, e.g. online-shop), which produced the receipt.

This ID has to be listed in the Convercus System as with this ID, the connection to the call origin is made.

{{idType}}

Identifier-Type (corresponding to the {{accountId}}).

Available values:

  • APPCODE (e.g. A1B2C3D4E5)

  • CARDCODE (e.g. V1W2X3Y4Z5)

  • EXTERNALCODE (e.g. 123456780123)

  • ID (account-identifier, e.g. 7d123457-bfa1-4a83-8213-123456789763 )

Note, that it’s possible to get the account-object using the identifier code (e.g. {{idType}}=CARDCODE, {{accountId}}=V1W2X3Y4Z5) or the accountId itself (e.g. {{idType}}=ID, {{accountId}}=7d123457-bfa1-4a83-8213-123456789763). Thus, the request may also be used to extract an accountId from a given Identifier.

The account-object per se is rather slender, only containing an ID (accountId), a program reference and a status of the account.

{
  "id": "550e8400-e29b-11d4-a716-446655440000",
  "program": "Pgr-A",
  "status": "ACTIVE"
}

If your program allows deactivation or locking of accounts, you should make sure, that accounts which don’t have the status ACTIVE cannot proceed with the following earn- and burn-processes. Deleted Accounts will not be responded at all.

Getting Account Balance

The account’s balance can be checked with the following command:

curl --location --request GET '{{api_url}}/accounts/{{accountId}}/balance' \
--header 'Authorization: {{jwt_token}}' \
--header 'interaction-id: {{interactionId}}' \
--header 'id-type: {{idType}}' \
--header 'Content-Type: application/json' \

with variables

Variable

Description

{{api_url}}

Endpoint of the api.

{{accountId}}

ID of the account that needs to be checked.

The ID has to be given in the format, that is dictated by the {{idType}}.

{{jwt_token}}

The JWT-token, which has been generated by authentication.

{{interactionId}}

Unique Identifier of the cash machine (or virtual equivalent, e.g. online-shop), which produced the receipt.

This ID has to be listed in the Convercus System as with this ID, the connection to the call origin is made.

{{idType}}

Identifier-Type (corresponding to the {{accountId}}).

Available values:

  • APPCODE (e.g. A1B2C3D4E5)

  • CARDCODE (e.g. V1W2X3Y4Z5)

  • EXTERNALCODE (e.g. 123456780123)

  • ID (account-identifier, e.g. 7d123457-bfa1-4a83-8213-123456789763 )

This will return the value of points available to the account. Loyalty points can be locked, due to refund periods or individual reasons:

{
    "points": 100,
    "lockedPoints": 0
}

Identifiers

An identifier can be used to simplify the access to a customers account to gather loyalty points. By linking the identifier (that can be a loyalty customer card, online identifier or others) to a customer’s accountId, they can verify at the cash register or online checkout to be the customer represented by said accountId.

When an identifier is linked to an account, it can be used as additional identification of the account (can be used as {{accountId}} variable in calls but with different idType).

Creating Identifiers

A new identifier can be created and mapped to the account.

curl --location --request POST '{{api_url}}/accounts/{{accountId}}/identifiers' \
--header 'interaction-id: {{interactionId}}' \
--header 'Authorization: {{jwt_token}}' \
--header 'Content-Type: application/json' \

  • ID (account-identifier, e.g. 7d123457-bfa1-4a83-8213-123456789763 )

This will return all identifiers with their specific identifier type the account is currently assigned to, e.g.:

[
    {
        "identifierId": "7b7587da-7467-4fe6-96d5-1d650a49f1fc",

The examplary request will update the specified properties in the data-raw argument, in this case the zipCode.

Individual properties can be deleted by updating them with null, e.g.:

curl --location --request PATCH '{{api_url}}/users/{{userId}}' \

Note: When updating the custom properties array, each entry has to be sent with the request, as both PUT and PATCH can only update the array in its entirety.

Deleting Users

A user can be deleted from the database, by sending a DELETE request with the unique userId.

curl --location --request DELETE '{{api_url}}/users/{{userId}}' \

{{interactionId}}

Unique Identifier of the cash machine (or virtual equivalent, e.g. online-shop), which produced the receipt.

This ID has to be listed in the Convercus System as with this ID, the connection to the call origin is made.

This will delete the user and anonymize the user data while simultaniously resetting the loyalty points to 0.

Memberships

A user, which is a customer profile with customer-specific data, is not able to collect loyalty points by itself, since the loyalty system collects points on accounts only. A membership can link a customer profile to an account, enabling the user to collect points for his connected accountId. One account may have N user connected with N memberships (always connect 1 user per membership). In practise, the most common situation is the connection 1 account : 1 membership : 1 user on which we will mainly focus in the following.

Note that the membership is the object which contains optin-information as optins are typically set / activated when a registration is completed (= user connected with account).

Creating Memberships

A new membership for given accountId can be created to connect a user with an account.

curl --location --request POST '{{api_url}}/accounts/{{accountId}}/memberships' \

Attribute

Description

accountId

Technical account-Id connected to this membership.

memberRole

Role of the membership. In general, it is possible to have multiple memberships, one account owner ("memberRole": "OWNER") and several COOWNERs or COLLECTORs.

In the standard setup however, there is only one membership (with "memberRole": "OWNER"), connecting one account to one user.

membershipId

Technical ID of the membership.

optins

List of optins that this membership has. Optin names are denoted by type, optin values are denoted by flag.

partnerId

Technical ID of the partner, the membership is belonging to.

userId

Technical ID of the user connected to an account via the membership.

If no membership is returned, the returned array is empty []. Depending on the specific program setup, these users may not be allowed to do anything if there are not registered. This logic has to be adopted here if that’s the case.
