Create or Update a Lead


Lets you create or update a lead –

  • If the lead exists, the attribute-value pairs you pass in the JSON body will update the lead’s information.
  • If the lead doesn’t exist, a new lead will be created.

The email address and phone fields are used as the default search criteria. If none of these match with an existing lead, a new lead will be created. You can pass the “SearchBy” attribute in the JSON body to search by a particular parameter.

Note: You can use the Lead Capture API as an alternative.
