This example request inserts a single contact into a journey.

You can process up to 100 contacts at a time by adding contacts to the members array. This sample request processes two contacts.

When the API successfully processes contact, the response includes the contact key and an instance ID.

This example response shows the successful insertion of a contact and one that couldn’t be inserted.
