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.

Our most senior staff organiser who has built one of the most powerful community organisations in the UK over the last 2 years, looked me in the eye today and told me paths were useless to him. The reason? He is out in the field constantly, holding recruitment and escalation 121s. He never touches down in the office, never uses a desktop. He interacts with NB through his phone, which means Fieldedge. And it means he cant use paths as he is working, so they’re no use. This really needs resolving. The world is mobile first now guys.
In priority order we would like to be able to (on a mobile via Fieldedge):
- Move someone to a different step
- Assign step/path to CP user
- View list of people on step/path
- Add someone to a path (without logging contact and with value and due date)
- View the steps/paths an individual person is on
