How to add Contact Information using API?

(0) ShareShare
ReportReport
Posted on by 5

Hi, I'm in the process of migrating my current system data to Business Central. I have successfully added customer information and contacts using the provided API documentation. However, I'm facing an issue with adding contact information that links the customer with the contact. It appears that there is no API provided for this specific task. Could someone please guide me on how to add this contact information effectively?

    Thank you for your response. No, i didn't try this. Since I'm new to Business Central, I would greatly appreciate more detailed guidance on how to add contact information that links customers with contacts. Currently, I'm utilizing the API provided at [https://learn.microsoft.com/en-us/dynamics365/business-central/dev-itpro/api-reference/v2.0/] for importing the data. However, I couldn't find a specific API endpoint or method to establish the relationship between customer and contact. Could you please provide more specific instructions or examples on how to achieve this task?

    Hi,  unfortunately, as far as I know the standard API does not support this feature. Customers and Contacts are linked by table 5054 "Contact Business Relation". Because in addition to customers, other master data will also have contacts.

    If you need API processing, you need to customize the new API.

    Hope this helps.

    Thanks.
