Create a new contact
The create a new contact endpoint is used to create a new contact in HubSpot. The new contact will be assigned a unique ID (vid), which can be used to look it up later. Use case for this endpoint: This endpoint can be used to perform a one-time sync of new contacts from an external system into HubSpot. Need to create or update multiple contacts? Try the Batch endpoint. Note: This endpoint is designed for offline contacts and does not support lead tracking. If your contacts come through online forms, use the form submission endpoint.
