Overview
The node provides functionality to create a new contact in the Cogfy Messenger system. It is designed to collect and send detailed contact information such as names, email, phone number, occupation, gender, birthdate, age, and notes to the backend service.
This node is beneficial in scenarios where you want to automate the addition of contacts into your messaging or CRM platform, for example:
- Automatically adding new leads captured from a web form.
- Syncing user data from other systems into Cogfy Messenger.
- Enriching contact lists with additional demographic or personal details.

Dependencies
- Requires an API key credential for authenticating with the Cogfy Messenger API.
- The base URL for the API must be configured in the node credentials.
- The node uses HTTP requests with JSON payloads to communicate with the external Cogfy Messenger service.
Troubleshooting
Common issues:
- Missing or invalid API credentials will cause authentication failures.
- Incorrectly formatted input data (e.g., invalid date formats) may result in API errors.
- Network connectivity problems can prevent successful API calls.
Error messages:
- Authentication errors usually indicate missing or incorrect API keys; verify credentials.
- Validation errors from the API often specify which field is invalid; check input property values.
- Timeout or connection errors suggest network issues; ensure the API endpoint is reachable.
