      description: 'Creates (or enriches) a Lead or Contact in the Salesforce org connected to the calling user, using the same export pipeline as the LeadIQ web app. Acts as the caller''s connected Salesforce user, so their Salesforce permissions, validation rules and duplicate rules all still apply.


        **Writes to an external system of record and cannot be undone by this API.** There is no delete path, and this endpoint is **not idempotent** — retrying may create a second record.


        Whether the prospect is saved as a Lead or a Contact is decided by the member''s `Save to` setting and the org''s governance; it is deliberately not selectable here.


        May consume Universal Credits when the prospect carries a DataIQ company id that the org has not already unlocked — the export unlocks company data to populate the Salesforce Account.


        `200` reports a terminal outcome, **including `duplicates_found`, where nothing was written.** `202` means the export was handed off but its outcome is unknown; do not retry on a `202`.'
