Body parameters

first_name string optional

The first name of the contact

last_name string optional

The last name of the contact

position integer optional

Sets the position of the contact in the UI. The first contact has a position of 1. If the number is higher than the number of contacts associated with this customer then the position itself is used as-is.

The contact's email address. Needs to be unique for the customer.

phone string optional

The contact's phone number

notes string optional

Additional notes or comments about the contact. Newline can be appended with \n in the string.

custom object optional

An array containing the custom attributes you're adding to the contact. Each custom attribute must be defined as an object with a key and value property as described below. The key must match one of the attribute names listed under Settings & Data > Custom Attributes > Contacts. To add a custom attribute outside of this list, first create it in ChartMogul.

key string optional: The name of the custom attribute. Required for each custom attribute. Accepts alphanumeric characters and underscores.
value string required: The value of the custom attribute. Required for each custom attribute. Data type can be one of String, Integer, Decimal, Timestamp or Boolean.

Adding new custom attributes. It is currently not possible to add new custom attributes through the API. Only custom attributes that are already defined may be added (regardless of whether or not they have a value for a contact)
