}Contacts
Create or update contacts
Upserts by phone number — a contact with that number is updated in place, never duplicated — so this doubles as your bulk-import endpoint. Send one object, an array, or { contacts: [...] }. Optionally drop them onto a list with list (by name, created if new) or list_id. Fields you don’t recognize are stored as custom fields (dot-notation nests them). This is the call your website form or CRM should make to add leads.
