Overview
This node integrates with the ProspectPro API to manage contacts associated with prospects. Specifically, the Create Contact operation allows users to add a new contact for an existing prospect by providing relevant contact details such as name, job title, email, phone number, and LinkedIn profile URL.
Typical use cases include:
- Adding new contact persons to a prospect record in a CRM workflow.
- Automating contact creation when new leads are generated from marketing campaigns.
- Enriching prospect data with detailed contact information for sales outreach.
For example, after identifying a prospect company, you can create a contact person within that company by specifying their first and last names, job title, and contact details, enabling personalized communication.

Dependencies
- Requires an active connection to the ProspectPro API.
- An API authentication token or key must be configured in n8n credentials to authorize requests.
- The base URL used for API calls is
https://api.prospectpro.nl/v1.2.
Troubleshooting
- Missing Required Fields: If "Prospect ID", "First Name", or "Last Name" are not provided, the API will likely reject the request. Ensure these mandatory fields are filled.
- Invalid Prospect ID: Providing a non-existent or incorrect prospect ID will cause the API to fail creating the contact. Verify the prospect ID before running the node.
- API Authentication Errors: If the API key or token is invalid or missing, authentication errors will occur. Check credential configuration in n8n.
- Network Issues: Connectivity problems may cause timeouts or failed requests. Confirm network access to the ProspectPro API endpoint.
- Field Validation: Some fields like email or LinkedIn URL might require valid formats; invalid inputs could lead to API errors.
