# Add an agent

> Creates an agent. `firstname`, `lastname`, `email` and `pass` are required. The optional fields allow outbound calling (`status_outbound`), cap daily call spend in EUR (`daily_price_limit`, 1–200), assign a four-digit `extension` that must be unique across the company (1000–9999), and set a default outbound number (`call_number_id`). Returns `201` with the new agent's ID; `403` means the account has reached its maximum number of agents.

Note the core API creates with `PUT`, not `POST`.
