Overview
This node integrates with a contact management service to create new contacts. It is designed to add contact details such as phone number, name, email, company, and address into the system. This node is useful in scenarios where you want to automate adding new contacts from various sources like form submissions, CRM exports, or other workflows.
For example, you could use this node to automatically add a new lead's contact information collected from a web form into your contact database, ensuring that all relevant details are stored consistently without manual entry.

Output
The node outputs an array of JSON objects, each representing the result of creating a contact. Each output item contains the response data returned by the contact creation operation, typically including confirmation details or the created contact's information.
If the node encounters an error during processing and "Continue On Fail" is enabled, it outputs an object with an error field describing the issue for that specific input item.
No binary data output is produced by this node.
Dependencies
- Requires an API key credential for authenticating with the external contact management service.
- The node depends on the external service's API being available and reachable.
- No additional environment variables are explicitly required beyond the API authentication setup.
Troubleshooting
Common Issues:
- Missing or invalid phone number format (must include country code).
- Network connectivity issues preventing API calls.
- Invalid or expired API credentials causing authentication failures.
Error Messages:
- Errors thrown by the node will include messages from the external API or internal validation errors.
- If "Continue On Fail" is disabled, the node execution stops at the first error.
- To resolve errors, verify the phone number format, check API credentials, and ensure network access to the service.
