Open APIs

Hi

I'm working on TMF621. I want to model Customer as a related party and provide a means to contact the customer via telephone, sms, email(maybe snapchat later at some point :-))

How do I model this?

I've seen contactMedium structure of TMF646 Appointment API
Can I use it and if yes, how do I use it in my context explained above?

Best,
Anuradha

Hi Anuradha
Apologies for the belated answer, hope it is still helpful.
ContactMedium is a utility entity that is attached to a wide variety of entities in the Open API data model. The Customer entity is one of these, as you can see in TMF629 Customer Management. So yes, you can use the ContactMedium on the Customer.
If you feel the need to have contact medium directly on the trouble ticket itself (TMF621), you can of course extend the Open API model (as per the guidelines in TMF630) and add it there.
