Hi,

I am struggling to figure it out. Among all the apis out there is there really an api available that can create a new contact?

Creating a new contact with api will automate the process and add someone as a contact in address book . I am not able to find may be I am missing.

Hi,

We can create two types of contacts using ring central API. One is internal and another one is external. If you are looking to create external contact then you can use a newly added ring central api called address book api to create new contact.

Have you checked the API reference here to "Creates personal user contact ":

This Address Book API creates a new contact for you
