How do I add a Service Rep?

What is a Customer Service Representative (CSR)?

A Worker Contact that can be assigned to Service Desk Items is called a Customer Service Representative (CSR). Only Contacts with the Service Rep type can be assigned to Items in Service Desk. For more details on all types of Contacts and Workers please see the Workers/Contacts article in the wiki.

For details on creating a Service Rep via the API, please see the Contact API Endpoint article.

If multiple Service Reps need to be created, see the Contacts Import article on how to set up the Import File.
