Add more functionality to the Paths API

FieldEdge - Canvassing App & Mobile Toolkit for NationBuilder By 

While there is now an official Paths API, it only includes an Index endpoint to view which Paths have been setup in the Nation.

It would be great to see the Paths API be expanded to include the useful functionality that Paths provide via the GUI such as:

  • View a list of people on a Step/Path
  • View the Steps/Paths an individual person is on
  • Add someone to a Path (without logging contact, and with a value & expected completion date)
  • Move someone to a different Step of a Path
  • Assign Steps/Paths to a CP user

Adding this functionality would allow Paths to be integrated into other apps and systems and allow people to create programatic workflows with Paths.

    We’re struggling with the limited functionality of NB’s surveys. We built our own survey tool in-house, but what’s blocking us from using our own utility is that we can’t “Move someone to a different Step of a Path” or “Add someone to a Path”.

    When paths are one of the most effective ways to manage permissions it would be incredibly useful to be able to update paths via a real API integration. THis would make life a
