write
Adds one contact to Fiken and returns its contact_id and, for a customer, the customer number Fiken assigns. Run list_contacts first so you do not create a duplicate. create_contact runs without asking first: it sends nothing to anyone, books nothing, and the contact can be edited in Fiken afterwards.
Parameters

| phone_number string | string | Phone number, needed to send invoices by SMS. |
