  • One note in full, by UUID
  • Author and immutability, so your system knows whether it can change it

A case system that holds a note UUID from an event or a list reads the note here before displaying or changing it.

What was written and about whom

Who wrote it and whether it can change

Questions

Questions we get asked about reading a note

What does our system need to send?
The note UUID in the path. Nothing else.
What comes back?
The note with its UUID, note number, text, author, immutable flag, entity, program and event UUIDs, archive timestamp and timestamps.
What if the note has been deleted?
Soft-deleted records return 404 from this endpoint and are no longer returned by the list. They remain in the database for compliance and audit purposes and can be restored in the portal within 30 days by a user with the account manager role.
What happens to the personal information in the response?
Personal information stored in WatchEye is covered by Global Data's security policies for the platform. Once your integration copies it into your own applications, databases, logs or backups, protecting it becomes your responsibility. Retrieve only the fields you need and treat any logs that capture API payloads as sensitive.
Getting started

The first step to access is a conversation

Sandbox accounts are provisioned by your Global Data account manager. API keys are created and managed in the WatchEye portal, and the same endpoints serve sandbox and live; the account behind the key decides which environment you are in.
