    I'm working on integration software, which should create contacts in CRM. I can do it already, but I didn't get how to set relations for account?

    I send POST to ContactSet endpoint with this data:

    {
        "Telephone1": "222-333",
        "LastName": "Smith",
        "FirstName": "John",
        "EMailAddress1": "jonh@test.com",
        "AccountId": {
            "__metadata": {
                "type": "Microsoft.Crm.Sdk.Data.Services.EntityReference"
            },
            "Id": "9dc28c45-e8cb-e411-80f5-c4346bad02e8"
        }
    }

    Contact is created, but in Account window I don't see this contact in contact's list

    your query is missing the logicalname, also probably the syntax is not correct (but this depends if you are using a JS framework to help you with the REST queries)

    in my opinion the code will be:

    {
        "Telephone1": "222-333",
        "LastName": "Smith",
        "FirstName": "John",
        "EMailAddress1": "jonh@test.com",
        "AccountId": { Id: "9dc28c45-e8cb-e411-80f5-c4346bad02e8", LogicalName: "account", Name: "Account Name" }
}

    I tried this data — nothing.

    After creation contact, I'm still getting this in response for just created contact:

    "AccountId": {
            "__metadata": {
                "type": "Microsoft.Crm.Sdk.Data.Services.EntityReference"
            },
            "Id": null,
            "LogicalName": null,
            "Name": null
        },

    Any ideas how to fill it? Maybe CRM doesn't support setting relationships on the fly? I mean during create action.
