# Add contact

> Creates a contact. Only `name` is required. The remaining scalar fields describe the company and postal address, and the `ContactNumber`, `ContactEmail`, `ContactsTag`, `ContactAttribute` and `ExternalUrl` arrays attach phone numbers, email addresses, tags, custom attribute values and links to external systems in the same request. Returns `201` with the new contact's ID.

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