Adds a new person to Google Contacts.
class ContactsApp method .createContact()
ContactsApp is the Apps Script service.
.createContact() is the method name you will see after a dot in your code.
What it does
Why it's used
- Add a new lead to Contacts when a form comes in.
- Keep CRM-style records without leaving your script.
Common errors
- Forgetting parentheses on createContact. Write ContactsApp.createContact(), not ContactsApp.createContact or createContact by itself.
- Skipping dots between chained calls. Each step needs a dot, like ContactsApp.createContact().
- Adding spaces where they do not belong. Write ContactsApp.createContact(), not ContactsApp .createContact(), ContactsApp.createContact (), or ContactsApp . createContact().
- Wrong capitalization. Use ContactsApp and createContact, not contactsapp or createcontact.
