For the most up-to-date information on the Custom Fields API, please visit the new Marketing Campaigns Custom Fields API.
The Custom Fields API lets you create and manage custom fields for your contacts. Custom fields are used to store additional information about your contacts. For example, you might use custom fields to store a contact's birthday, their favorite color, or any other information that is relevant to your business.
This endpoint allows you to create a custom field.
You can create up to 120 custom fields.
