    Hi Harshad,

    When you create a contact entity, all the required fields should be given. The last name is a required field for contact entity. So you should always give this last name field while creating a contact in dynamics CRM.

    Is there any javascript or plugin on the contact form. Please paste the screenshot of your error. This kind of error occurs when there is no null check for a field
