# Create a contact field

`POST /api/reach/v1/profiles/{profileUuid}/contacts/fields`

Define a new custom contact field in a profile.

The `slug` is derived from the label and, like the field type, cannot be changed later.
Use the returned uuid to set values on contacts.

## Path parameters

- `profileUuid` string, required

## Request body

- ReachV1ContactsFieldsStoreRequest — Define a custom contact field for the profile
