using API to insert custom data
October 02, 2009, 07:34:13 am
Hey,

I'm using the Contact API to insert new contacts...there is some custom data (existing table and fields) that I would like to enter during/after creating the new contact.  Does the Contact API create() function handle custom field data?  How best to do that?

Thanks, kmitz
