Contact → Create
AI-generatedSummary
Creates a new contact in the DocuSign account address book from a name and email, with optional company and shared flag.
Inputs
- authentication — Auth method: JWT (Service Integration, default) or OAuth2 (User Authorization).
- email (required) — The contact's email address.
- name (required) — The contact's display name.
- additionalOptions — Optional collection. Company (organization) sets the company or organization name; Shared (boolean, default false) controls whether the contact is shared with other account users.
Output shape
The API response for the created contact, returned as an n8n item. The source pack shows only the handler name (handleContactCreate), not its body, so the exact fields are not confirmed. Expect DocuSign's contact record, likely including a contact ID.
The handler body is not visible in the provided source, so the field mapping and response shape are inferred from the declared properties. Requests go through the shared DocuSign API helper, which retries on 429 and 5xx errors. Errors are thrown as node API errors.
Examples
Example 1: Save a new CRM lead as a DocuSign contact so they can be picked as a signer later.
Email = {{$json.email}}, Name = {{$json.fullName}}, Additional Options: Company = {{$json.company}}.
Example 2: Add a shared contact for a partner so the whole team can use it.
Email = legal@partner.com, Name = Partner Legal, Additional Options: Shared = true.
