History events

When certain events occur in InsuranceSuite they are automatically recorded. Each history event is stored as a CustomHistory type. You can retrieve these history events by using the history-events endpoint.

The following endpoints are available for retrieving history events:

  • GET /common/v1/history-events/{historyEventId}
  • GET /account/v1/accounts/{accountId}/history-events
  • GET /policy/v1/policies/{policyId}/history-events
  • GET /job/v1/jobs/{jobId}/history-events
  • GET /common/v1/contacts/{contactId}/history-events

The following sections provide examples of these endpoints.

Retrieve a single history event

You can retrieve a single history event by using the history-events endpoint in the common API. To use this endpoint you must first retrieve the historyEventId from the history-events endpoint on the relevant object, such as the contacts object in the ContactManager Contact API. (For more information on the Contact API, see History events for ContactManager.)

The information retrieved in this example is from an account change history event where the account changed from pending to active.

Retrieve contact history events

There is an endpoint for retrieving contact history events, but in the base configuration, there are no history events that are recorded for contacts. History events must be configured manually to be recorded.

In the following example, the history events for contact ab:110 includes the creation of the contact and an update to the contact's primary address. These are both custom history events that were added to PolicyCenter.

Command
GET /contact/v1/contacts/ab:110/history-events
