Forgot I had posted this question. I ended up creating an endpoint to handle subscriptions for both boards and individual threads. The endpoint takes in the following parameters:
- id
- action (add/remove)
- type (threads/board)
Then it goes something like this:
<#if actionParam == "add">
<#assign response = rest("/${typeParam!?url('UTF-8')}/id/${idParam!?url('UTF-8')}/subscriptions/users/self/add?subscription.type=email") />
<#elseif actionParam == "remove">
<#assign response = rest("/${typeParam!?url('UTF-8')}/id/${idParam!?url('UTF-8')}/subscriptions/users/self/type/email/remove") />
<#else>

Hey ttadej That's useful.
Is this for subscribing to a label? For example, I create a post and give it a label "Customer Research" and I want to subscribe to this label. Is that something I can do?
Hi gstelang, I've never used labels and do not see it in their docs. Given that label subscriptions are board-level, my assumption was one could do something like this:
https://$hostname.com/restapi/vc/boards/id/[board_id]/posts/for/labels/text/[label_text]/subscriptions/users/self/add
But that didn't work :(
Right - I tried that! Thanks for the help.
