# Adding Objects to Standard Resources

### Data Addition Methods

#### Adding a Single Object

* **Description:** Adds a single object to the specified resource using the add function.
* **Supported Resources:** accounts, transactions, activities, contacts
* **Requirements:**
  * **account Field (Mandatory except for accounts):** Supports UUID and InternalID in the references object.
  * **type Field:**
    * Mandatory for transactions and activities.
    * Optional for accounts and contacts; defaults to the resource’s default type if omitted.
    * Must contain either type id or type name (ID takes precedence if both are provided).
  * **Optional Fields:**
    * originAccount (transactions and activities only): Supports InternalID and UUID.
    * catalog (mandatory for accounts, activities, and transactions with multiple catalogs): Supports InternalID, UUID, and catalog Name.
  * **Workflow Behavior:** For objects with workflow transitions, the object is created in the "new" status, with the New>>{Next Transition Step} initialized.
* **Syntax:**

  ```javascript
  pepperi.app.<resource name>.add({
    type: { InternalID: <id>, Name: "<name>" },
    references: { account: { UUID: "<UUID>" } }, // Optional: originAccount, catalog
    object: { <field1>: <value1>, <field2>: <value2> }
  });
  ```
* **Example:**

  ```javascript
  pepperi.app.transactions.add({
    type: { InternalID: 1234, Name: "Sales Order" },
    references: { account: { UUID: "acc123e-74ac-4041-8bb1-a76a3b5e78d8" } },
    object: { GrandTotal: 567.5, TSASubject: "This Object was created with the client api" }
  });
  ```
* **Returns:**

  ```json
  {
    "success": true,
    "id": "6e2803cd-b656-4d4f-8d21-f7cee7167350",

# Agent Instructions
This documentation is published with GitBook. GitBook is the documentation platform designed so that both humans and AI agents can read, navigate, and reason over technical content effectively. Learn more at gitbook.com.

## Querying This Documentation
If you need additional information that is not directly available in this page, you can query the documentation dynamically by asking a question.

Perform an HTTP GET request on the current page URL with the `ask` query parameter, and the optional `goal` query parameter:

```
GET https://apidocs.pepperi.com/updating-data/adding-objects-to-standard-resources.md?ask=<question>&goal=<endgoal>
```

`ask` is the immediate question: it should be specific, self-contained, and written in natural language.
`goal` is optional and describes the broader end goal you are ultimately trying to accomplish on behalf of the user. GitBook uses it to tailor the answer towards what is most useful for that goal.

The response will contain a direct answer to the question and relevant excerpts and sources from the documentation.

Use this mechanism when the answer is not explicitly present in the current page, you need clarification or additional context, or you want to retrieve related documentation sections.
