write
Adds one customer to the Fortnox customer register and returns its customer number. Run list_customers first so you do not create a duplicate. create_customer runs without asking first: it sends nothing to anyone and the customer can be edited in Fortnox afterwards.

| email string | string | Email address for invoices. |
