Adds a description and counterparty to transactions Public preview
What’s new
Adds two new optional fields to the Transaction resource:
- description : A string describing the transaction. Typically, this will be the description associated with the flow referenced by the transaction.
- counterparty : An object containing a name property that identifies the other party involved in the transaction. For example, for an Outbound Payment, this would be the name of the recipient.
Impact
You can now access additional transaction context when working with the Transactions API. The new fields don’t affect existing integrations. No code changes are required unless you want to use the new functionality.
