Search Inquiries

Search for inquiries using a flexible query language.

Search vs. List Endpoints

The Search and List endpoints serve different purposes and have distinct performance characteristics.

Use the Search endpoint (POST /inquiries/search) when you need to perform complex queries with boolean logic (AND/OR/NOT), filter on multiple statuses simultaneously, or apply multiple conditions at once. Search is optimized for flexible querying and is faster than paginating through all resources when looking for specific records.

Use the List endpoint (GET /inquiries) for simple listing with basic filters like reference ID.

Data Freshness

Do not use search for read-after-write flows because the data will not be immediately available to search. Under normal operating conditions, data is searchable within approximately 1 minute of creation or modification. Propagation of new or updated data could be delayed during an outage. For workflows that require immediate data availability after creating or updating an inquiry, use the List Inquiries endpoint instead.

Searchable Attributes

The following attributes can be used in query predicates:

AttributeDescription
statusInquiry status (e.g., pending, completed, approved, declined)
created_atInquiry creation timestamp
updated_atInquiry last updated timestamp
reference_idReference ID associated with the inquiry’s account
inquiry_template_idInquiry template ID (e.g., itmpl_ABC123)
