Sometimes you need a field from the underlying platform that we do not unify. Every data model carries a raw_data field for exactly that.

​
Reading data

raw_data contains the entire response from the underlying platform for that record, so you can reach any field we do not unify.
raw_data is only included for paying customersIt is stripped from read responses otherwise. Contact support@commenda.io if you need it enabled for your organization.
When it is returned, raw_data is included on every record automatically — there is no parameter to opt in or out. Because it carries the full upstream payload, responses are heavier than the documented field list suggests, so lower limit if you hit slow responses or size limits.

​
Writing data

You can pass a JSON object in the raw_data field when writing data. Every field inside raw_data is passed straight through to the underlying platform. Check the platform’s own documentation for the field name and type you want to push. If you run into trouble, contact us and we are happy to help.
Adding to our Unified APIIf there is a field you keep reaching for through raw_data and think it should be unified, contact us and we are happy to discuss.
