Create an account

This is a basic example of creating a record using 1CRM API.

Use Model::create() method

// prepare data for new record
$account_data = [
    'name' => '1CRM Systems Corp.',
    'email1' => 'info@1crm.com',
    'is_supplier' => true,
    'industry' => 'Technology',
    'account_type' => 'Supplier',
    'phone_office' => '+1 999-888-7777',
    'billing_address_city' => 'Victoria',
    'billing_address_state' => 'BC',
    'billing_address_country' => 'Canada',
    'billing_address_street' => '688 Falkland Road',
    'billing_address_postalcode' => 'V8S 4L5',
    'website' => 'https://www.1crm.com/'
];
// obtain model
$model = $client->model('Account');
// create record
$account_id = $model->create($account_data);
echo $account_id, "\n";

Output:

To create a record, you first prepare an array with record data. Array keys are field names, and the values are corresponding data values. Then, obtain an instance of Model class, and use create() method to insert the record into the database and get new record ID.
