Is it possible to add a new contact (a name and number for example) via the API so when a customer signs up there info is automatically added to RingCentral so if and when they call we have their name to show on the screen?

The Address Book API has been released. You can use the createContact endpoint to create contacts within your organization. Here is a sample request and response for adding a contact that is available to everyone in your organization:
Sample Request
POST /restapi/v1.0/account/~/extension/~/address-book/contact
{
"firstName": "Charlie",
"lastName": "Williams",
"businessPhone": "+15551234567",
"businessAddress": {
"street": "20 Davis Dr.",
"city": "Belmont",
"state": "CA",
"zip": 94002
}
}Sample Response
HTTP 200 OK
