bird contact-properties create
Usage
Code example
bird contact-properties create <key> [flags]Description
Define a custom contact property.
The key and --type are fixed after creation. The key must be lowercase letters,
digits, and underscores, starting with a letter. An optional fallback value (used
when a contact has no value) is set through a --body-file "fallback_value" field.
Build the request from the <key> argument and flags, a JSON ContactPropertyCreateRequest body via
--body-file ("-" reads stdin), or both — an inline value overrides the matching
body field. Run --example to print a ready-to-edit body, or --dry-run to print
the resolved request without sending it.
Examples
Code example
# print the body shape (no credentials needed)
bird contact-properties create --example
# the body it prints:Code example
{
"fallback_value": "free",
"key": "plan",
"type": "string"
}Code example
# define a string property
bird email contact-properties create plan --type string
# with a fallback via a body file
bird email contact-properties create plan --type string --body-file prop.jsonOptions
