Overview

This node allows you to create a new contact ("Kontakt") in the Actaport legal practice management system via its API. It is useful for automating the addition of contacts such as clients, partners, or other relevant persons or entities into your Actaport database directly from workflows.

Typical scenarios include:

  • Automatically adding new client contacts collected from web forms.
  • Syncing contacts from other CRM or ERP systems into Actaport.
  • Creating contacts programmatically during case or task creation processes.

For example, you can use this node to create a contact with personal details like first name, last name, and salutation, along with additional information such as addresses, email addresses, phone numbers, and legal representatives.

Output

The node outputs the JSON response returned by the Actaport API after creating the contact. This typically includes the full details of the newly created contact record, such as assigned IDs, all submitted fields, and any additional metadata provided by the API.

No binary data output is indicated for this operation.

Dependencies

  • Requires an API key credential for authenticating with the Actaport API.
  • The base URL for the API must be configured in the credentials.
  • The node uses HTTP POST requests to the /kontakte endpoint of the Actaport API.

Troubleshooting

  • Authentication errors: Ensure that the API key credential is correctly set up and has sufficient permissions to create contacts.
  • Validation errors: The API may reject requests missing required fields or containing invalid data formats (e.g., incorrect date format for birthdate). Verify that mandatory fields like vorname, name, and typ are properly filled.
  • Network issues: Check connectivity to the Actaport API endpoint and confirm that the base URL is correct.
  • Unexpected API responses: Review the API documentation for any changes or additional required fields not covered by the node's properties.
