# Create a new contact

2. **Choose “Create a new contact”** as your action and click the red gear next to “Data template” to show the template corresponding to the action.
3. **Fill in the data template**, linking target and source fields. You must fill in the required fields (marked with a red asterisk), but you can skip optional fields. Click “Map” once you’re done.
