Create an account

Creates a new account record. The $name field is required.

If a $website is provided, Lightfield automatically enriches the account in the background. The $howTheyMakeMoney and $accountStatus fields are read-only and cannot be set via the API. The $opportunity, $task, $note, and $meeting relationships are also read-only — manage them via the $account relationship on the opportunity or task, the $account/$opportunity note relationships, or via the meeting's $contact attendees that belong to this account.

Supports idempotency via the Idempotency-Key header.

To avoid duplicates, we recommend a find-or-create pattern — use <u>list filtering</u> to check if a record exists before creating.
