Create a new person (contact/lead) in your team. People are automatically deduplicated by email address.

Use Cases:

• Add leads from website forms
• Import contacts from external systems
• Create prospects manually
• Sync contacts from marketing platforms

Deduplication:

• If an email address already exists, the existing person will be returned
• Use PUT /people/{id} to update existing contacts

Required vs Optional:

• At minimum, provide either firstName/lastName OR name
• Emails and phones are optional but recommended for communication
• Tags can be added during creation for immediate categorization

Idempotency: This endpoint participates in automatic idempotent-replay — see the "Idempotency" section of the API overview for the full semantics (30-second window, X-Idempotent-Replay: true header, failure/retry behavior).

{
  "firstName": "Jane",
