Get entity IDs for integrations and deep links

Learn how to get the unique identifiers of different entities in the SafetyCulture platform for integrations and deep links.

What can I use entity IDs for?

To seamlessly integrate with SafetyCulture, obtaining entity IDs for specific documents or profiles may sometimes be required. While our API documentation outlines the process of acquiring these entity IDs through API requests, we recognize that not everyone tasked with building integrations may be comfortable with such technical methods. To make things easier, you can get the IDs for various entities, such as templates and inspections, via the web app.

What you'll need

Depending on the entity ID you are trying to get, you may need document access, organization permissions, or certain seat types to proceed.

Get a template ID

  1. Log in to the web app.

  2. Select Templates from the menu on the left-hand side.

  3. Click the template and select Manage access in the side panel.

  4. Copy the template ID from the URL, which should resemble the following example: https://app.safetyculture.com/template-editor/template_ec6d885b07944d00b5d1e224bf0573c1 Get a template ID via the web app.

Get a question item ID

  1. Log in to the web app.

  2. Select Templates from the menu on the left-hand side.

  3. Click the template and select Edit template in the side panel.

  4. Update the page's URL to "https://app.safetyculture.com/api/v2/templates/template_id" with the template ID.

    • For example, if the current URL is "https://app.safetyculture.com/template-editor/template_645dac7031d54418942d68842ac28f74/build," then update it to "https://app.safetyculture.com/api/v2/templates/template_645dac7031d54418942d68842ac28f74." Ensure the URL doesn't end with a backslash (/).

  5. This should show the raw template data. Most web browsers should support a "Pretty print" option that allows you to view each question more easily.

  6. Search for the question's label and copy the item ID from the "item_id" field, which should resemble the following example: "item_id": "c8fb4545-628f-49ea-9b73-32d11d59c99d",
