This includes the full body/content of each item, not just titles or IDs. A full-text content search endpoint is also available, allowing developers to search across content by keyword. 📝 *Please note:* Content endpoints (such as creating, writing, or editing content or subjects, documents, or pages via API) are *not* currently available. But this is on our roadmap. Stay tuned! 🛣️ #### ***What can I do with users and user data through the API?*** The API supports full user lifecycle management, including: - Creating users. - Updating user details. - Archiving users. - Unarchiving users. The API also supports completion and activity endpoints, allowing developers to query things like: - Who completed specific training content, and when. - Activity data across the entire organization. 🖼️  Need some users and user data API scenario examples? Check these out... 🔸 *API & Webhooks x Users & User Data Example 1:* Need \>\> I want to programmatically create, update, or archive users, kept in sync across multiple tools. Solution \>\> API and webhooks is the right fit — full user lifecycle management is supported, and webhook events fire on user state changes so other systems stay in sync automatically. 🔸 *API & Webhooks x Users & User Data Example 2:*  Need \>\> I want event-driven automation — for example, triggering an onboarding workflow when an assignment is completed. Solution \>\> API and webhooks is the right fit — this is a core webhook use case, since webhooks notify another system the instant an assignment is completed. #### ***What can I do with groups, responsibilities, and assignments through the API?*** - The API supports full CRUD (create, read, update, delete) operations for all group types in Trainual: Roles, Teams, Departments, Locations, and others (others being the ones you custom created inside of Trainual). - Individual user responsibilities are fully manageable through the API. - View, create, and delete training assignments for individual users. #### ***What can I do with Trainual's webhooks?*** There are a variety of distinct event types that span: - Content lifecycle changes. - User state changes. - Group membership changes. - Completions. - Assignments. Webhook syncs can be created, managed, tested, and inspected both through the API and within the Trainual app UI. Need a webhook scenario example? Check this out... 🔸 *Webhook* *Example 1: * Need \>\> I need to pull completion data into a business intelligence (BI) tool or data warehouse." Solution \>\> API and webhooks is the right fit — completion endpoints support pulling this data, and webhooks can trigger a sync the moment a completion happens. **🛡️** *Security note on webhooks:* All webhook payloads are HMAC-signed, allowing customers to verify that a payload genuinely came from Trainual. **🐛** *Debugging note on webhooks:* Webhooks include delivery logs and support redelivery, so customers can troubleshoot failed or missed webhook events. #### **FAQs:** ***My team uses [Smartsheet](https://www.smartsheet.com/), and we are looking to connect that to Trainual. How can I achieve this?*** Your developer or tech team can look into building custom connections using Trainual’s API and webhooks alongside Smartsheet’s own API.  Every setup is a little different, so I can’t speak to specific build questions — but here’s some documentation that should help you identify whether what you’re trying to do is possible: - [**developers.smartsheet.com**](http://developers.smartsheet.com/) - [**developers.trainual.com**](http://developers.trainual.com/) ***Can data flow both ways (bi-directionally) between Trainual and our HR or payroll system integration?*** Not automatically — data currently flows in one direction only, *from* your HR or payroll system *into* Trainual. For example, if a user profile is updated inside Trainual, that change won't auto-sync back to your HR or payroll system. But a two-way connection may be possible with custom development using Trainual's API.
