Custom contact fields enhance your OpenPhone contacts with additional information beyond standard details like name, company, role, emails and phone numbers. These user-defined fields let you capture business-specific data. While you can only create or modify these fields in OpenPhone itself, this endpoint retrieves your existing custom properties. Use this information to accurately map and include important custom data when creating new contacts via the API.

Get contact custom fields

Fetch a paginated list of contacts associated with specific external IDs. Optionally narrow the results further by supplying a list of sources. While we do intend to offer a true "list all contacts" endpoint in the future, the `externalIds` parameter is currently **required** to narrow the result set to only the desired contacts, if they exist.
