Branding and Overlay text in API

I'm building out a process to speed up creation of forms (Videoasks). I've consulted the documentation at GetPostman but there are two things I'm having trouble with:

  1. Branding - In the Retrieve form by ID action, I can see in the response that there are nested parameters for branding, including branding_id . However, the POST action for new forms does not appear to accept branding_id as a parameter. Is there a way to specify the branding ID of a form (VideoAsk) with the API?
  2. Overlay text - In the Retrieve a question action, I am able to see a parameter called “label” which appears to correspond to the overlay text. However, the POST action to Create a question and the PATCH action to Update a question both do not appear to accept “label” as a parameter. Is it possible to specify the Overlay text via the API?

Hey ​@Jeff Baird!

Could you try the following:

  1. Branding - You can do a PATCH action to update a form and add custom branding. In the API documentation, on the right there is a dropdown where you can see an example request for adding a custom brand where you can enter the branding_id.
  2. Overlay text - You can do a PATCH action to update a question to add overlay text. Below metadata, you can enter the overlay text under “text”. 

 

Hope this helps.

Hey ​@Jeff Baird you’re welcome to ask here, but if it’s something that seems like it might be a bug or you need more eyes on it faster I would recommend getting in touch with the support team!

Branding and overlay text in APIs can be a great way to maintain consistency and enhance user experience. Customizing these elements often depends on the API's capabilities and your specific use case. I found an interesting discussion about API customizations on Koalageddon. Has anyone implemented branding or overlays effectively in their projects?
