Create gifts
Use this endpoint to create one or more gifts within a Campaign and initiate the Triggered Gifting flow. Snappy will notify recipients based on the Campaign’s Notification Policy.
Required fields:
campaignId- the Campaign ID to send underrecipients- array of recipients, each requiring at minimum afirstnameand an identifier to send to (email or phone). Include a uniquekeyper recipient for duplicate detection.
Optional fields:
customization- Gift Customization overrides (giftProperties,notificationPolicy,recipientExperience). Overrides apply only to gifts created in this call.metadata- optional key-value pairs (max 50 pairs, keys up to 40 chars, values up to 500 chars)Request-Sourceheader - source of the request (api_native,api_zapier,api_salesforce,api_ftp,api_make)
Behavior Notes:
- Supports batch creation - multiple recipients in a single request. Each recipient generates its own Gift with its own
linkandkey. - A successful request returns the Gift objects with an initial status of
unopenedand a unique claimlinkfor each recipient. - Webhook events fired through the lifecycle:
gift-status-changed(unopened→unwrapped→opened→claimed/expired), andgift-notification-initial-sent. - The top-level
sendingMethodfield is deprecated - usecustomization.notificationPolicy.sendingChannelsinstead.

- Name Your Key: Provide a descriptive name for easy identification
Using Your API Key
Include your API key in the X-Api-Key header for every request:
X-Api-Key: YOUR_24_CHARACTER_API_KEY
API Key Management

- Rotation: Delete old keys before creating new ones when at the limit
- Security: Keys are hashed and cannot be retrieved after creation
Enhanced Security (mTLS)
