I will be inserting/updating Cases that are linked to a Contact.

However sometimes I will insert Cases where the Contact is actually new.

In the current WebForm, if a Case's email does not match a contact, then a new Contact is created, otherwise it is linked to the matching Contact.

I'd like to mimic that functionality with the API.

So as it is now, if I include the ContactID with the Cases insert it will link them.

Can you recommend the best way to also create a new contact?

Can I simply include Name, Email etc in the Case insert?  Will Zoho automagically create the new contact?

Or will I be required to do an API insert for the contact, grab the ID, then insert the case  (which is a pain!)

Thank you,

David
