Get Note Type(s)

GET /v2/finplus/debtmanagement/debtornotes/notetypes (/{id})

This endpoint retrieves a list of available debtor note types.

Debtor Notes consist of three types: Internal Note, Text Note, and Promise to Pay Arrangement.

1. Internal Note: As the name suggests, this is an internal record for the school. It allows staff to document conversations and interactions with debtors for reference.

2. Text Note: Similar to an internal note, but with the distinction that it is typically printed on the debtor’s statement.

3. Promise to Pay Arrangement: This represents a commitment from the debtor to make specific payments on agreed-upon dates. The system records these arrangements and provides reminders to the school for follow-ups.

By default, this endpoint returns a collection of records, wrapped in a data array. To retrieve a single record, provide its ID in the URL, which will return a single object instead of a collection.

Path Parameters

Name	Type	Description
{id}	Integer	Optionally provide the Note Type ID for retrieving a single record.

Name	Type	Description
HTTP-X-USERNAME*	String	As provided by d6
HTTP-X-PASSWORD*	String	As provided by d6
HTTP-X-SCHOOLID*	Integer	The unique identifier of the school for which the data is being queried.
