# Add the booking contact

> Makes a person the trip's booking contact (the one who books and pays; they need not travel), as the contact panel's Invite does: finds or creates their traveler account, makes them the booking's holder and stores the contact details you send.

`POST /v1/trips/{tripId}/contact`

Makes a person the trip's booking contact (the one who books and pays; they need not travel), as the contact panel's Invite does: finds or creates their traveler account, makes them the booking's holder and stores the contact details you send. If the trip is already `reservada` they are emailed their app access; otherwise they are told when it gets there. 409 `contact_exists` if the trip has a contact — change it with PATCH. Undo with DELETE /trips/{tripId}/contact.
