Goal API

Use this API to create, update, and get a user's goals from Cornerstone Performance. You can also use this API to update a user's progress on a goal.

The Goal API includes the following services:

  • Create - Use this endpoint to create new user goals.
  • Update - Use this endpoint to update existing user goals in your Cornerstone portal.
  • Update Goal Progress - Use this endpoint to update goal progress, one goal at a time.
  • Details - Use this endpoint to retrieve details of user goals from your Cornerstone portal.
  • Cancel Goal - Use this endpoint to update goal statuses to cancelled, one goal at a time.
  • Lock Goals - Use this endpoint to lock or unlock goals, one goal at a time.

The same rules that the Cornerstone UI enforces while creating or updating goals also apply for the API.
