Phonebank
This page defines the Phonebank resource.
Phonebank resource represent specific phone banking events planned for a specific time period. The resource contains information about start and end time, people to be called, and a Script that is used for the effort. As people are contacted, Phonebank Result resources are created representing the individual interaction between a volunteer and a person, as well as the data that resulted from that interaction.
Sections
Endpoints and URL structures
OSDI does not specify specific endpoints and link structures for compliant systems to use. Rather, because OSDI is a HAL+JSON API, endpoints and structures are defined in the links section of each returned resource, starting with the API Entry Point link.
HAL’s link structure lets an API consumer move through API levels, resources, and collections by parsing and following links. While most systems will not change the value of their links often and obey RESTful design principles, the value of each link when that resource is retrieved is the only canonical value, and it can change at any time.
The link relation label for an Phonebank resource is osdi:phonebank for a single Phonebank resource or osdi:phonebanks for a collection of Phonebank resources.
Fields
The field names for this resource, with standard names, punctuation and capitalization, and values where appropriate.
Note: As with the entire OSDI specification, the specific fields a compliant system implements will vary between each system, as will the fields each system requires when creating or updating resources, which fields are writeable, and the operations you are allowed to perform on each resource.
Common Fields
A set of common fields that appear on all resources is included first, for reference.
| Name | Type | Description |

| modified_date | datetime | A read-only property representing the date and time the resource was last modified on the local system. |
Control Headers
An “osdi:control” JSON object may contain common OSDI control headers which can be used on an OSDI POST, PUT, PATCH, Helper or other function calls to modify server behavior. Read More
| Name | Type | Description |
|---|---|---|

Note: As with the entire OSDI specification, the specific links a compliant system supplies will vary between each system. In addition, systems may choose to embed a linked resource directly in the response in addition to linking to it in the links section, using the standard _embedded syntax described in the general overview documentation.
| Name | Type | Description |
|---|---|---|
| self | Phonebank* | A self-referential link to the phone bank. |
| creator | Person* | A link to a single Person resource representing the creator of the Phonebank. |

Scenario: Creating a new Phonebank resource (POST)
Posting to the effort collection endpoint will allow you to create a new Phonebank. The response is the new Phonebank resource that was created. While each implementing system will require different fields, any optional fields not included in a post operation should not be set at all by the receiving system, or should be set to default values.

Scenario: Modifying a Phonebank resource (PUT)
You can update a phonebank resource by calling a PUT operation on that phone bank’s endpoint. Your PUT should contain fields that you want to update. Missing fields will be ignored by the receiving system. Systems may also ignore PUT values, depending on whether fields you are trying to modify are read-only or not. You may set an attribute to nil by including the attribute using nil for value.
Note: Modifying members of an array separately is not supported. To change the contents of an array, first GET the current contents and then PUT back only those you wish to keep.
