Purpose: Use the generic customer API to add or change customers based on XML messages from an external system.
Note: You cannot use the Generic Customer API to delete a customer.
Relate customer integration: If you use the Relate customer integration, when you create or change a customer through the generic customer API, the new or changed customer information is also sent to Relate so that the name, address, email address, phone numbers, and contact permissions in the two systems are synchronized. See the Relate Customer Integration for more information.
