Create a Contact linked to Customer from API

Hello,

I try to create a Contact (with type Person) record which is related to Customer record.

Tried several ways, but none seem to work (I was able to create Customers and unlinked Contacts). As I understood you do not link that Contact directly to Customer but to another Contact (with Type Company) which is automatically created when Customer is created.

I tried to create a new Contact (with type Person) with a link to Contact that automatically created Contact (with Type Company). I used this body:

{
  "displayName": "Test Contact",
  "phoneNumber": "555577777",
  "email": "test@test.com",
  "type": "Person",
  "companyNumber": "CU17414"
}
 


This request gives me such error: You cannot change Company No. because one or more unlogged segments are assigned to the contact.



Any ideas what this error means or how to properly link my new Contact?

Create a Contact linked to Customer from API

Hello,

You're using the Customer No. in companyNumber, but the API expects the Company Contact No. (the contact automatically created for the customer).

Fetch it from:

GET /customers({id})/contactsInformation → use contactNumber from the response → send that in companyNumber.
