Interaction

An Interaction is a significant direct exchange of ideas or information between a number of participants, e.g. a Sell Side party and one or more Buy Side parties. An Interaction might be a call, a meeting (physical or virtual), an IM or the preparation of some specialist data, such as financial data for a given company or sector.

Notes:

• interactionType SHOULD be one of 'Instant Message', 'Email', 'Call', or 'Meeting' although other string values are permitted.
• origin is used to represent the application or service that the interaction was created from to aid in tracing the source of an interaction.
• id does not need to be populated by the originating application, however the target application could store it for future reference and SHOULD return it in a TransactionResult.
• id can be used by a target application to pass an identifier back to the originating application after an interaction record has been created, updated or deleted.
• id.URI can be used by a target application to pass a record's link back to the originating application. This offers the originating application a way to open the record for a user to view.
