Create a profile

A recipient should be uniquely identifiable using a string ID that will not change. For this reason, you should not use data such as an email address or phone number when assigning a recipient ID. This type of data may change over time.

More Examples

The following types of requests will not change the body of an existing Profile:

JSON
// Empty Profile Object
{
"profile": {}
}

The above will result with:

200
{
"status": "SUCCESS"
}
POSThttps://api.courier.com/profiles/:recipient_id
Merge the supplied values with an existing profile or create a new profile if one doesn't already exist.
