Step 2: Custom Account Configuration

To create an account with customized properties, you may supply your own configuration file.

As an example, run the following command like so:

    yext accounts create test-account-config.toml

Example Config File:

    name = "Test Account"
    accountType = "DIAGNOSTIC"
    country = "US"
    language = "en"
    defaultLocationType = "LOCATION"
    parentBusinessId = "69878"
    productFeatures = ["FACEBOOK_EXPORT", "PHOTO_DETAILS_FIELD", "PHOTO_CROPPING", "ZUORA_ACCOUNT"]
    
    [users.OWNER]
    firstName = "Test"
    lastName = "User"
    emailPrefix = "testUser"
    password = "<PASSWORD>"
    
    [[acl.OWNER]]
    roles = ["FULL_CONTROL"]
    
    [users.someUser]
    firstName = "Other"
    lastName = "User"
    emailPrefix = "otherUser"
    password = "<PASSWORD>"
    
    [[acl.someUser]]
    roles = ["LOCATION_VIEWER"]
    
    [templateLocations.LOC_]
    count = "2"
    template = "test_basic_location"
    
    [categories]
    ALL = ["1113"]
    
    [subscriptionFeatures]
    LOC_0 = ["DIGITAL_ASSET_MANAGEMENT", "YELP", "FOURSQUARE_POWERLISTINGS"]
    ALL = ["LIVE_API"]

The configuration files must be in TOML format, and the following fields are supported. Note: Subscription and Product Features are ignored in the production environment.
