Trigger manual payout
When to call this endpoint
Which call you make depends on the project’sautomations.autopay setting. Read it with Get a project if you are unsure.
- First payment,
autopay: true: do not call this endpoint. Mark as attended already fires the first payment. Calling this endpoint withpayoutCount: 1on top of that produces a duplicate payment. - First payment,
autopay: false: call this endpoint withpayoutCount: 1to issue the first payment. Mark as attended does not pay the participant when autopay is off. - Payments 2–5 (any project): call this endpoint with
payoutCountset to the intended payment number (2,3,4, or5). Use Retrieve payout counts first to confirm how many payments the participant has already received.
payoutCount is required and is the sequence number of the payment being made, not a delta. See How to use multiple payments for the full flow and the optional tip field.
