Overview

This node operation creates a new customer in the Square system using the Square API. It allows users to specify the customer's given name as a required field and optionally provide additional customer details such as address, birthday, company name, email address, family name, nickname, note, phone number, and reference ID. This operation is useful for businesses that want to add new customer records programmatically, for example, when integrating customer sign-up forms or CRM systems with Square.

2. Creating a new customer with detailed information including address, email, and phone number.
