## Description

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](https://docs.microsoft.com/en-us/graph/api/user-post-contacts) [See the update documentation](https://docs.microsoft.com/en-us/graph/api/contact-update)
