# Contact document create (upload)

## Function

The _ContactDocumentCreate_ task task creates a new document for a specific document type and assigns it to a contact.  
There can be only one document per document type per contact.

If another document is uploaded for the same document type and contact, it will be overwritten for JSON. With XML it is not overwritten automatically. Here the key override must be specified.

## Description

  

Route: POST /contact/{id}/document/{type}  

Content-Type: multipart/form-data

```
form: file=temp/data.pdf
```

```
