Leads
Create Lead
Create a new lead record in your Plura workspace.
If a lead with the same phone number already exists, the API returns a 409 with the existing lead’s details. Use the Update Lead endpoint to modify existing leads.
Phone number handling: If the phone number does not include a country code, the API automatically prepends 1 (US). Send digits only — no +, spaces, or dashes.
