# Create an organization

> Synchronous, unlike contact and product-user writes: organizations have no
asynchronous pipeline, so the created organization is returned directly
rather than a transaction to poll.

A property whose name matches a column on your organization table is
written to that column as well as to the stored property bag, so it reads
back the same way an ingested organization does. A property with no
matching column is still stored, but only in the bag. Names the platform
owns (`id`, `_source`, `properties`, `properties_timestamp` and the
`_*_time` audit columns) are rejected.




## OpenAPI

````yaml /api-reference/openapi.yaml post /v2/orgs
openapi: 3.1.0
info:
  title: Inflection Developer API
  version: 1.0.0
  description: >
    The Inflection Developer API (`/v2`). Authenticate with a Personal Access

    Token (`Authorization: Bearer inf_pat_...`).


    **`/v2` is `/v1` plus more.** Every `/v1` endpoint is served here unchanged,

    so a client can pin to one version and reach the whole API. On top of those

    sit reads `/v1` never had: journeys, journey and email stats with a journey

    rollup, and the email and list collections. `/v1` remains published.


    **Response envelope.** Every response is wrapped:

    `{ "data": …, "pagination": …, "errors": [...], "meta": { "status":
    "SUCCESS|FAILURE", "timestamp": "…" } }`.

    `data` carries the payload, `pagination` appears only on paged lists, and on

    failures `errors` is populated with `meta.status: "FAILURE"`.


    **Query parameters are camelCase**: `pageNumber`, `pageSize`, `startTime`,

    `folderId`. The journeys, emails, lists and stats reads additionally accept

    the snake_case spelling of every scalar parameter (`page_number`,

    `folder_id`, …); the contact, activity and list-member endpoints do not.

    Repeatable parameters also accept a `[]` suffix (`status[]`, `tag[]`).


    **Asynchronous contact writes.** `POST/PATCH /v2/contacts*` are processed

    asynchronously: they return **200** with a `PENDING` transaction

    acknowledgement (not the created/updated contact). Poll

    `GET /v2/contacts/transactions/{transactionId}` for the per-contact result.


    **Status-code quirks** (documented per-operation): a missing **contact** is

    reported as **400** (not 404), whereas a missing **list**, **email** or

    **journey** is **404**. For journeys and emails that also covers a

    soft-deleted record and a malformed id. Nothing returns 201 or 204.


    **Empty results are not errors.** On the paged reads, a `tag`, `folderId` or

    `search` that matches nothing returns an empty page, not a 404.


    **Errors.** Failures use the envelope above

    (`errors[].{errorCode,message,detail}`). Authentication and authorization

    failures (401/403) are returned with an empty body. The journey stats rollup

    adds `RESULT_SET_TOO_LARGE` (a **400**) when a filter matches more journeys

    than one request may cover; narrow it rather than paging further.


    **Rate limiting.** Requests are metered per tenant. Exceeding the budget

    yields **429** (empty body) on any endpoint; the `Retry-After` header gives

    the seconds to wait and `X-RateLimit-Limit` the sustained per-second budget.
