## Request

  - `external_id` string, nullable
  - `metadata` object, nullable

## Response `201`

Successful Response

- object

## Other responses

- `401`: Missing, invalid or revoked API key.
- `402`: The developer account has no active or trialing subscription.
- `403`: A read-only key tried to write, or the account is not a developer account.
- `404`: Unknown profile, connection, platform, category or action.
- `409`: Conflict: external_id already used, or the profile has not connected what the tool needs.
- `422`: Missing or invalid arguments; the message names the field.
