**Required attributes:**

- `category_id` Number / see notes for more information
- `name` String / typically the company name

**Notes:**

**01:** The `lead_scanning_enabled`, `uses_analytics`, `uses_chat` and `has_automatic_representatives_linking` attributes are of the `boolean` type, and support the values `true` / `false`.

- `lead_scanning_enabled`: If true, allows any sponsor representatives / attendees linked to this sponsor company to use lead scanning to capture data by scanning QR codes. This data will be available to sponsor admins and reps in the Sponsor Admin Panel
- `uses_analytics`: If true, allows sponsor admins assigned to this sponsor company to see traffic analytics data (such as who visited their virtual booth and engaged with their content etc.)
- `uses_chat`: If true, enables a public booth chat for their virtual booth.
- `has_automatic_representatives_linking`:&#x20;
  - If you'd like to automatically link sponsor representatives to this sponsor company, this needs to be set as TRUE along with the `representatives_linking_method` option.
  - Leave false to manually select who is linked to this sponsor company.
- `representatives_linking_method`supports the following values:
  - `partial_company_name_match`- links the representatives if the Sponsor Company Name matches most of the content. For example, if the Sponsor Company Name is 'ABC Ltd' and the user's company title is 'ABC' or 'ABC Ltd': Partial match will link. ✅&#x20;
  - `exact_company_name_match`- only links the representatives if the Sponsor Company Name matches exactly. This is case-sensitive.
  - `company_domain_match`- links the representatives based on the Email Domains provided. For example: if Sponsor Company Name is 'ABC Ltd'
    and Email Domain is 'abc.com', all users with "abc.com" in their email addresses will be linked automatically.
    - `company_domain` is an array which supports whatever domains you need to match sponsor reps by (eg: if you supply brella.io and google.ie as company domains — whenever anyone with a abc\@brella.io or xyz\@google.ie email in their INVITE joins Brella, they will get assigned to that booth.)

**02:** The `cover_image` and `logo` attributes allow for automatic uploading of a booth cover image and sponsor logo from web-based sources. To use this, pass a URL leading to a valid image resource (JPG / JPEG / PNG etc.) as a string.

**03:** The values for the `category_id` attribute can be found in your event's Admin Panel (Sponsors > Categories). You can add as many categories as needed in the Admin Panel. Categories can't be created via the API just yet. This field is mandatory.

**04**:  `interest_categories` should include a Matchmaking Category and the interests.&#x20;

- If the interests don't exist in the matchmaking set-up, the API call will create these interests.
- If you make an API call where the interests array or any of those parameters is empty, it will delete them from the INVITE. It will NEVER DELETE interests from the event itself, since multiple attendees/ sponsors might be using these interests and identity data in the event.

**05**:  `product` should be an array. Each object within the `product` sarray corresponds to a single sponsor product.

- The `name`, `description`, and `url` are mandatory.
- If you are using the "PATCH" requests to update the products, this must ONLY be controlled via the API. If the sponsors add/ update / delete the products via the Brella Sponsor Panel, these will be overwritten by the APIs.
- How updating/ deleting products logic works:
  - Every time a PATCH request runs, the entire "`products`" array is evaluated. Then, the API will delete or update. Note that, the "update" also technically works by deleting the old product, and creating a new one with the updated data.
  - **For example:**
    - A sponsor has the following products within the "products" array: `[Product 1, Product 2, Product 3]`
    - A PATCH request is made to the newly created sponsor, but the products array contains the following products: `[Product Z, Product 3]`
    - The products for this sponsor will now ONLY contain Product Z and Product 3 - Product 1 and Product 2 will be deleted.
- In reality, as mentioned above, "Product 3" is also deleted, but it gets recreated with the PATCH request (so the actual internal ID of Product 3 won't be the same).

**06**:  `custom_fields_attributes` should be an array. Each object within the `custom_fields_attributes` array corresponds to a single custom field, which can be created manually from the Admin Panel:

- The Custom Field needs to be linked to the Sponsors.
- The `key` and `value` are mandatory.
- Currently, `value` needs to be a string.
