Merge two posts

POST/v2/posts/merge

Merges a source post into a destination post.

The source post is removed from public post lists. Its votes, comments, and supported integration links are moved to the destination post.

Both posts must belong to the authenticated organization. Neither post can already be merged, and a post cannot be merged into itself.

Retrying the same source and destination after a successful merge is safe and returns the destination post without merging the data again.

The response contains the updated destination post.

upvotes: number

deduped: optional true

Present and true only on POST /v2/posts, when the request carried a source.externalId that already had a post. The existing post is returned unchanged with HTTP 200; a newly created post returns HTTP 201 without this field.

intakeMode: optional "request" or "feedback"

Present only on POST /v2/posts: the intakeMode the post was processed under (‘request’ when the request named none). On an idempotent replay (deduped: true) this is the mode the post was ORIGINALLY created with.

One of the following:
"request"
"feedback"
processing: optional PostProcessing { status, reason, results }

On POST /v2/posts — queued: a processing run (claim extraction or the Organize rewrite) was enqueued and its result lands asynchronously on the post. skipped: nothing was enqueued; reason says which gate decided (‘request_mode’ for every intakeMode: ‘request’ create). existing: the create was an idempotent replay and the post was not processed again. On GET /v2/posts/{id} this field is present only for posts created with intakeMode: 'feedback' and reports how far that processing has got (‘queued’, ‘processing’, ‘complete’, ‘needs_review’, or ‘skipped’ with the same reason the create returned), with results listing what was made of the submission once the run has finished.

status: "queued" or "processing" or "complete" or 3 more

‘queued’ = an AI run was enqueued and has not landed yet; ‘processing’ = the run is working on the submission; ‘complete’ = it finished and results lists what it produced; ‘needs_review’ = it finished and a teammate still has to decide something; ‘skipped’ = nothing was enqueued (see reason); ‘existing’ = idempotent replay, not processed again.

One of the following:
"queued"
"processing"
"complete"
"needs_review"
"skipped"
"existing"
reason: optional "request_mode" or "autopilot_off" or "insights_disabled" or 11 more

Why processing was skipped. ‘request_mode’ = intakeMode was ‘request’ (the default); ‘autopilot_off’ = the workspace’s Autopilot dial is off or its plan does not include it; ‘pipeline_paused’ = the platform paused AI processing (it resumes automatically); ‘support_board’ / ‘spam_held’ / ‘staff_authored’ / ‘no_content’ = the post did not qualify; ‘source_too_long’ = the text was over the length limit when the run read it (a create that long is normally refused with a 400 first); ‘extraction_failed’ = the AI could not read the text after repeated attempts; nothing was written, and opening the post in Triage runs the analysis again.

One of the following:
"request_mode"
"autopilot_off"
"insights_disabled"
"pipeline_paused"
"support_board"
"spam_held"
"staff_authored"
"not_a_post"
"no_board"
"no_id"
"no_content"
"source_too_long"
"extraction_failed"
"hook_error"
results: optional array of object { outcome, title, postId, 2 more }

What the workspace’s “Organize submissions” lane made of this submission, one entry per ask it found, in the order they appear in the text. Present on GET /v2/posts/{id} for posts created with intakeMode: 'feedback' once the run has finished. Absent while the run is still working, and absent for workspaces that do not organize submissions — there the post itself is the request.

outcome: "attached" or "request" or "question" or "held"

‘request’ = the ask became a request of its own; ‘attached’ = it was added as evidence to a request that already existed; ‘held’ = it became a request that is waiting for a teammate to publish it; ‘question’ = it asked something and no request was created, so a teammate answers it.

One of the following:
"attached"
"request"
"question"
"held"
title: string

The ask, as it was written up.

postId: optional string

The request this ask became, or was attached to. Absent for a question, and absent when the request is not readable through this API (for example a ticket board).

postTitle: optional string

Title of postId.

reason: optional "too_many_topics" or "uncertain" or "custom_fields" or "processing_failed"

Why a ‘held’ result is waiting for a teammate. Only on a ‘held’ result, and only one of these codes: ‘too_many_topics’ = the submission held more separate asks than one submission can become requests, so this one request lists the asks that did not fit, one line each in the customer’s words; ‘uncertain’ = the ask was too vague to file without a person; ‘custom_fields’ = the board requires custom fields this submission did not carry; ‘processing_failed’ = the AI could not rewrite the text (the request then holds the original words) or could not check this ask against existing requests, so a teammate confirms it is not a duplicate.

One of the following:
"too_many_topics"
"uncertain"
"custom_fields"
"processing_failed"
