Source: https://cotlet.dev/docs/api/bloomerang/create_constituent

Docs sections: [Get started](https://cotlet.dev/docs.md) · [REST API](https://cotlet.dev/docs/api.md) · [MCP](https://cotlet.dev/docs/mcp.md) · [SDKs & CLI](https://cotlet.dev/docs/sdks.md) · [Integrations](https://cotlet.dev/docs/integrations.md)

Add an individual or organization, unless the same person is already there.

Bloomerang API: https://cotlet.dev/docs/api/bloomerang.md

`POST https://cotlet.dev/api/v1/bloomerang/constituents`

Access: write.

Searches first. If a constituent with the same name and the same email, phone or address exists, it returns that record with created set to false and adds nothing. Otherwise it creates the record and returns its ID. It reaches no one and is undone by deleting the record in Bloomerang, so it does not wait for your OK.

## Parameters

| Name | Type | Required | Description |
|---|---|---|---|
| `type` | string | yes | Individual or Organization. |
| `first_name` | string | no | For an individual. |
| `last_name` | string | no | For an individual. |
| `organization_name` | string | no | For an organization. |
| `email` | string | no | Primary email. |
| `phone` | string | no | Primary phone. |
| `street` | string | no | Primary address, street line. |
| `city` | string | no | City. |
| `state` | string | no | State or region. |
| `postal_code` | string | no | Postal code. |

## For AI agents: sign your user up

Is your user asking you to sign them up for Cotlet? You can do it for them, no account or key needed.

1. Read the fields and their allowed values: GET https://cotlet.dev/api/v1/access-requests
2. Ask the user for each value: email, apps, what you will do with them. If they leave the password to you, generate a strong one and show it to them.
3. Show the user what you will send, then POST it as JSON to https://cotlet.dev/api/v1/access-requests.

One call creates the account and sends the access request; we email the user when access is granted.
