WHMCS API Update CustomFields

/0 Comments/in /by

A big problem with WHMCS is that you don’t have any API to manage customfields. With this API you can update all clients, products and support custom fields.

You can use it as a standard WHMCS API. You may want to use it with internal API function or using CURL. In this case WHMCS documentation is helpful so no more explanations are required.

To use it you have to upload the updatecustomfields.php (all lowercase) into the /includes/api whmcs folder and it’s done.
