It is useful for automating customer management workflows, such as adding new customers to a billing system with detailed attributes. For example, it can be used in scenarios where a business needs to programmatically add customers with specific group, organization, and contact details, along with optional billing and invoice preferences.

Use Case Examples

1. Automatically create a new customer in Billing Booth One when a new lead is captured in a CRM.
2. Batch import customer data from an external system into Billing Booth One with custom fields and tags.

• Verify the API base URL and access token are correctly configured in credentials to avoid authentication errors.
• If using JSON fields (e.g., address, tariffs, tags), ensure valid JSON format to prevent parsing errors.
• Check that optional fields conform to expected types and values, especially enumerations like customer type and invoice delivery methods.
• Common error messages include missing routing information for resource-operation pairs, which indicates misconfiguration or unsupported operations.
• If binary data is referenced but not found, an error will be thrown; ensure binary property names are correct if used.
