Object Type Identifier

An object type identifier uniquely identifies an object type. It is used to specify object types in APIs.

There are two kinds of type identifiers:

• objectName: This identifier is a human-readable name for both Built-in or CRM objects and Custom Objects.
• objectID: This identifier is a human-readable name for Built-in or CRM objects (e.g. CASE), but for Custom Objects, it is a computer-generated string with no humanly-interpretable semantic value (e.g. 123qwe456rty).

See also:

• Session Identifier - session identifier
• Record Id - record id

Find the Object Type Identifier

To find the object type identifier for an object:

1. Click Designer > Objects > {object}
2. The Object Name is displayed at the top of the page.
   (To see the object ID, click the section-expansion (triangle) icon next to it. )

Note: The Object Name is typically used as the identifier, because it is human-readable for both Built-in or CRM objects and Custom Objects. Object ID can be used, as well, but it is only human-readable for Built-in or CRM objects.
