Microsoft Outlook Email ACTION

Save Contact

Create or update an Outlook contact (upsert). Omit contactId to create a new contact; provide contactId to update an existing one. Use Find Contacts first to look up a contact's id before updating. Example (create): save-contact(givenName="Cosmo", surname="Kramer", emailAddresses=["kramer@kramerica.com"]) → creates contact, returns new contact object with id. Example (update): save-contact(contactId="AQMk...", businessPhones=["+1-555-0100"]) → patches the existing contact. See the create documentation See the update documentation
