I have a client using LACRM (Less Annoying Customer Relationship Manager)
http://www.lessannoyingcrm.com/
They have some PHP code for creating a new client.
I have no idea how to add to my contact form.
I have the UserCode and APIToken, that is not the issue.
Any ideas?
Thanks

This file demonstrates how to use the Less Annoying CRM API to create a new contact
in your CRM.
If you have any questions, feel free to email [email protected] for help
**************************************************************************************/
//Get your user UserCode and API token from https://www.lessannoyingcrm.com/account/api/
$UserCode = "ABCDE";
$APIToken = "111111111111111111111111111111111111111111111111";
$EndpointURL = "https://api.lessannoyingcrm.com";
$Function = "CreateContact";
/*
Notes:
The only required field is a contact or company name. If you enter a company name
but not a contact name, we will only create a company and all the other info (phone,
email, etc.) will be stored with the company. If you enter both a contact AND a company
name, we'll create both records and all the other info will be stored with the contact.
*/
/*
When entering a contact, you can either enter a FullName, or five separate fields
(Salutation, FirstName, MiddleName, LastName, Suffix). If you enter the separate
names, you are required to have at least a first or a last name (everything else
is optional). Here are the different formats:
*/
$FullName = "Tyler King";
//OR
$Salutation = "Mr.";
$FirstName = "Tyler";
$MiddleName = "";
$LastName = "King";
$Suffix = "Jr.";
//since we can only use one of the name formats, I'm only going to pass a the full name
//to the API call.
/*
To enter a new company, enter a company name that doesn't currently exist. If the
company already exists, you can either enter the company name, or the CompanyId if
you know that
*/
$CompanyName = "Less Annoying CRM";
//OR
$CompanyId = 1111111;
$Title = "Co-founder / CEO"; //This is only used if you're creating a company
$Industry = "Software"; //This is only used if you're creating a company by itself
$NumEmployees = "1-10"; //This is only used if you're creating a company by itself
$BackgroundInfo = "Lorem ipsum dolor sit amet, consectetur adipiscing elit.";
/*
Many of the fields can have an arbitrary number of records per contact (like more than one email
for a single contact. Here are examples of the formats you should use for those fields
*/
$Email = array(
0=>array(
"Text"=>"[email protected]",
"Type"=>"Work"
),
1=>array(
"Text"=>"[email protected]",
"Type"=>"Other"

"Type"=>"Work"

"Text"=>"(415)763-7329",
"Type"=>"Other"

"Country"=>"U.S.",
"Type"=>"Shipping"

);

);
//The birthday can be in any format, but you shouldn't use dd/mm/yyyy (or dd-mm-yyyy)
//because it might be confused with the American format (mm/dd/yyyy). Instead, try
//something like yyyy-mm-dd or "October 15th, 1973"
$Birthday = "1/1/1982";
/*
Custom fields should be entered as one array where the key is the field name and
the value is the value of the field.
*/

"Customer Reference #"=>"123456789",

//Note: you can assign contacts to other users by also passing an "AssignedTo" parameter
//For example: "AssignedTo"=>111111 (where 111111 is the user's Id)
//Now lets put all of those parameters into one array so we can call the API easily
$Parameters = array(

//The CallAPI function is at the bottom of this file
CallAPI($EndpointURL, $UserCode, $APIToken, $Function, $Parameters);
/*
The API doesn't look at the type of request (POST, GET, etc) so you can use whatever
you want. Here is a really ugly way to handle this in PHP:

$APIResult = file_get_contents("$EndpointURL?UserCode=$UserCode&APIToken=$APIToken&".
