# Promote Filevine Draft Contact

`POST /filevine/draft-contact/{filevine_contact_id}/promote`

Promote an LLM-drafted Filevine contact to a real Filevine contact.

Creates the contact in Filevine using the (user-edited) fields from the request,
then updates the existing draft row in place so the originating call still
renders the card — now as a synced, non-draft contact.
