I’m trying to create a timeline event based on contact vid.

Event Information:

```lia-code-sample
[
{
"id": 10***,
"name": "Survey",
"headerTemplate": "Survey Taken - {{#formatDate timestamp}}{{/formatDate}}",
"detailTemplate": "",
"applicationId": 24**,
"objectType": "CONTACT"
}
]

```

Event Creation Snippet:

```lia-code-sample
url = 'https://api.hubapi.com/integrations/v1/24 ***/timeline/event?hapikey=dbf40fbf-***** &userId=1 *****'
headers = {}
headers['Content-Type'] = 'application/json' 

data ={
 "id": 123,
	 "applicationId": 24**,
 "objectId": 164**,
 "eventTypeId": 10**,
 "timestamp": 1600255228000

}

```

Error:

```lia-code-sample
{'eventErrorEntityType': 'OBJECT_NOT_FOUND', 'status': 'error', 'message': 'Object not found vid : 16 ***', 'correlationId': 'b1451a24-050c-4057-8cc8-cb67bec51fc9', 'identifierName': 'vid', 'identifierValue': '16***'}
400 -error

```

I set the objectId field to the VID of the contact.

Hey @pranesaminathan

I haven’t used the v1 version of this endpoint and I can’t see anything wrong with the request without verifying the contact ID. You could also try replacing the objectId with an email.  
Have you tried using the v3 version of the timeline events API?

Hope that helps.
