# Bulk create contacts

`POST /v1/messaging/contacts/bulk`

## Request

- Base URL: `https://apihub.co.il`
- URL: `https://apihub.co.il/v1/messaging/contacts/bulk`
- Auth: HTTP bearer

Import up to 1000 contacts at a time. Skips duplicates, merging any new tags onto the existing contact. accountId is required whenever contacts carry a platformIdentifier (or a row-level accountId); platform is always derived from the resolved account, never used to decide whether channels are created, and a mismatched platform 404s as account not found. When accountId is set, each contact must carry a platformIdentifier; a row missing it is rejected individually (reported in errors[], HTTP 200), not a 400 for the whole import. On phone platforms (whatsapp, sms) the platformIdentifier is normalized to digits and a value that is not phone-shaped is rejected per contact and reported in errors[], not imported.

**Billing:** Request; paid actions are priced in credits (see GET /v1/messaging/prices) · **Rate limit:** 60/min

## Headers

- `Idempotency-Key` string

    - `email` string
    - `company` string

    - `platformIdentifier` string: Required when the top-level accountId is set (channel mode). A row missing it in that mode is rejected individually and reported in errors[], not a 400 for the whole import.
