Create a contact
Creates a new contact. The write is processed asynchronously: the call returns a transaction with status PENDING, which you can poll to confirm the result (see Asynchronous writes). Property names inside properties must be snake_case (for example, first_name).
POST is create-only. Re-posting an existing email resolves to FAILED in the transaction result. To create-or-update, use Batch upsert contacts instead.
