## Using this endpoint in a workflow

1. Add an **API Call** node to your workflow.
2. Pick your Dotdigital connection from the Connection dropdown.
3. In the Operation dropdown, select `addressBooks.addContact`.
4. Fill in the parameter fields that appear. Use `{{...}}` to reference upstream values.

**Required fields are marked — fill them or the call will fail at runtime.**

## What it returns

The `API Call` node writes the response to the workflow context:

  success: true,

  latencyMs: 142
}
```

Reference response fields downstream as <code v-pre>{{nodeId.data.path}}</code>. The exact response shape is documented on the upstream Dotdigital API reference.
