Ideas API

When creating an idea where the creator is an idea user we strongly suggest to provide the submitted_idea_portal_id attribute to the idea to ensure that the idea is created in the correct ideas portal and the user gets access to the portal.

If you don't want the idea to be submitted to any portal, you can skip this by setting skip_portal: true in the request body.

Create an idea with a category

POST /api/v1/products/:product_id/ideas
