This endpoint is used to create an eLinx request. Once the eLinx request is created successfully, the request link will be sent through an email to the recipient.
Notes:
-
If you do not wish to send an eLinx request via an email, sms or whatsapp, then simply set SendNotification = false
-
Before sending an eLinx request, you must set your default email address using the /elinx/setup-sender-email endpoint.
-
Duplicate requests are rejected when the account has opted in with the RejectDuplicateRequests eLinx setting (see POST /elinx/settings; off by default). A request with an Amount and no Frequency fails with "A request with ID
is currently active. To override and resend, include an 'IdempotencyKey'." when the account has a still-active request (pending, waiting or pending approval, of any age) with the same Amount, PaymentType and ReceiverName, and the same ReceiverEmailAddress (or ReceiverPhoneNumber when no email is supplied). The error response also returns the matching request's ID in ELinxRequestID. Once the original is completed, cancelled, declined or expired, the same request can be sent again. To send an identical request on purpose, pass a new IdempotencyKey. -
Reusing an IdempotencyKey fails with "A transaction with a matching idempotency key already exists. Please update this parameter and try again."
