Creating a Company advice

Question

I understand that Companies need to be created via API, I also understand they show when they have 1 associated user - but sadly even with the Developer Hub and knowledge of sending API requests and Postman as well; I can’t get this to work at all.For Attaching a Contact:Why does the Body only include an ID? No company ID, user ID ever seems to do anything with this.{ "id": "64e5e25c35824d3aabb0e535" }Is there a video or simple walk through that simply shows how to create a simple Company and associates 1 User; it would be really helpful as its far too time consuming.After hours of trying, still cant create a single Company or attach one user.

Hey@Ian Maison Racheal from the support engineer team here👋To create a Company you would send a POST request to:https://api.intercom.io/companiesWith this in the request body:{ "company_id": "company_remote_id", "name": "my company", "remote_created_at": 1374138000 }When it comes to adding a contact to a company the Company ID is included in the request URL:https://api.intercom.io/contacts/{id}/companiesThis is why it isn’t in the request body. The ID in the request body must be the Intercom defined id representing the Company, as mentioned here.I hope this helps!
