Find members for assignments

Find a workspace member ID and use it to assign a task or select sequence reviewers.

Use member IDs when assigning tasks or choosing sequence reviewers. A member is a person in your workspace; an external contact uses a contact ID instead. Invite people and change their roles through Members settings.

Find the member

Section titled “Find the member”

With members:read, call List members:

Terminal window
curl "https://api.lightfield.app/v1/members?limit=20&offset=0" \
  -H "Authorization: Bearer $LIGHTFIELD_API_KEY" \
  -H "Lightfield-Version: 2026-03-01"

Find the intended person using data[].fields.$email.value; names alone can be ambiguous. Save their id, which starts with mem_. Read every page using the returned totalCount and the pagination procedure.

Verify the ID before assigning work

Section titled “Verify the ID before assigning work”

Use Retrieve a member to confirm the email and name:

Terminal window
curl "https://api.lightfield.app/v1/members/$MEMBER_ID" \
  -H "Authorization: Bearer $LIGHTFIELD_API_KEY" \
  -H "Lightfield-Version: 2026-03-01"

Pass that ID as relationships.$assignedTo when creating a task, or in reviewers when creating a sequence. Those writes require their own scopes; members:read only permits the lookup.

If retrieval returns 404, confirm that the key and member belong to the same workspace. Re-list members before replacing a stale ID. Do not substitute a con_ contact ID or an email address in an ID field.
