# New endpoints for managing customer contacts

#### What's new

Customer contacts (phone numbers, emails, social media links) can now be managed through API calls to dedicated endpoints. 

#### Changes in API

New endpoints allow you to create, search, update, and delete customer contacts with calls to Ecwid API without risking other customer's data.

Customer contacts can still be updated with the "Update customer" call, but this request completely rewrites the data in the "Contacts" section, thus is vulnerable to losing the data. Dedicated endpoints allow you to safely insert, delete or change specific customer contacts.

## Querying This Documentation
If you need additional information that is not directly available in this page, you can query the documentation dynamically by asking a question.

Perform an HTTP GET request on the current page URL with the `ask` query parameter, and the optional `goal` query parameter:

```
GET https://docs.ecwid.com/changelog/march-2025/march-28/new-endpoints-for-managing-customer-contacts.md?ask=<question>&goal=<endgoal>
```

`ask` is the immediate question: it should be specific, self-contained, and written in natural language.
`goal` is optional and describes the broader end goal you are ultimately trying to accomplish on behalf of the user. GitBook uses it to tailor the answer towards what is most useful for that goal.

The response will contain a direct answer to the question and relevant excerpts and sources from the documentation.

Use this mechanism when the answer is not explicitly present in the current page, you need clarification or additional context, or you want to retrieve related documentation sections.
