Overview

The find unique method searches for a single record based on one or more unique attribute values. The response will contain exactly zero or one record. This method is useful when you need to find a record by its unique identifier other than the record ID. For example, you can use it to find a company by its domain or a person by their email address. If you have custom objects with unique identifiers, this method can be used to locate records based on those unique attributes.

Examples

Find a company by domain

This finds a company record by its unique domain:

POST /objects/company/records/find-unique

{
  "domain": "unifygtm.com"
}

{
  "status": "success",
  "data": {
    "object": "company",
    "id": "73fcb798-9ccd-4138-8f6a-9a801123783c",
    "created_at": "2025-09-04T01:23:45Z",
    "updated_at": "2025-09-04T01:23:45Z",
    "attributes": {
      "name": "Unify",
      "domain": "unifygtm.com",
      "description": "A nice company with a top-notch API.",
      "status": "Active"
      // ...
    }
  }
}

This returns the company for Unify if it exists, otherwise the response will contain null for the record.

Find a custom record

This finds a record in a custom object by a unique identifier:

POST /objects/product_user/records/find-unique

{
  "user_id": "Zz9O-5O8W-s41T"
}

{
  "status": "success",
  "data": {
    "object": "product_user",
    "id": "a1b2c3d4-e5f6-7890-abcd-ef1234567890",
    "created_at": "2025-09-04T01:23:45Z",
    "updated_at": "2025-09-04T01:23:45Z",
    "attributes": {
      "user_id": "Zz9O-5O8W-s41T",
      "full_name": "Alice Smith",
      "email_address": "alice@example.com",
      "plan": "enterprise"
      // ...
    }
  }
}

Find using multiple attributes

This finds a custom object record using a combination of unique and non-unique attributes:

POST /objects/product_user/records/find-unique

{
  "user_id": "Zz9O-5O8W-s41T",
  "email": "alice@example.com",
  "product_code": "PRO-PLAN"
}

{
  "status": "success",
  "data": {
    "object": "product_user",
    "id": "a1b2c3d4-e5f6-7890-abcd-ef1234567890",
    "created_at": "2025-09-04T01:23:45Z",
    "updated_at": "2025-09-04T01:23:45Z",
    "attributes": {
      "user_id": "Zz9O-5O8W-s41T",
      "full_name": "Alice Smith",
      "email": "alice@example.com",
      "product_code": "PRO-PLAN"
      // ...
    }
  }
}

In this case, the custom attributes user_id and email are unique, but product_code is not. Only a record which matches all of these criteria will be returned.
