 * [@crmperks](https://wordpress.org/support/users/crmperks/) I’m even more confused.
   
   This is the _opposite _of what [@sbazzi](https://wordpress.org/support/users/sbazzi/)
   wrote on this thread only 3 days ago.
 * When you say: “_plugin will update existing contact only_”
    – I understand we
   CAN’T create a new contact with the plug-in? Samer wrote we can. – If we can’t
   create a Contact, can we create a new Lead or only update existing?
 * Could you copy-paste the API Call the plug-in generates to Contact- so I can 
   test myself and reach a sure conclusion?
 * Thanks again!

 * Awesome!
 * We are looking at purchasing the plug-in, or else I’d be testing myself.
    Since
   you have the environment running already, Could you please run these simple tests
   and report back please?
 * Select Email as “primary key”, then:
    1. Simply create a contact with the plug-
   in. Works? 2. Try to create the exact same contact, what happens? 3. Try to use
   same email – and different first name, what happens?
 * Thanks!

 * Impossible to have the Salesforce ContactID for a new visitor on the website.
   
   It’s generated in Salesforce.
 * I think the term “Primary Key” is misused in the screenshot you sent – it’s not
   the real primary key for the object.
 * Which API do you use to post to Salesforce?
    How are you using the API to post
   it to Salesforce based on the selections in the UI you sent screenshot of?
 * That’s why I believe it requires ACTUAL TEST of three scenarios:
    Select Email
   as “primary key”, then: 1. Simply create a contact with the plug-in. Works? 2.
   Try to create the exact same contact, what happens? 3. Try to use same email –
   and different first name, what happens?
 * PS
    In Salesforce we can have an email set to “Unique”, but it will not be the
   ContactID, it will just prevent duplicates.

 * Thank you for your answer, Sam.
 * The only thing that worries me is that email is NOT the primary key for Contacts
   in Salesforce.
 * It’s a unique ContactId.
 * This is essential to understand.
    Knowing this,
 * Is your answer still valid?
    Do you have an environment where you can test it
   quickly and validate?
 * Thanks again!
