Parameter   Type   Mandatory Description
Body: The schema to create.<ref>This is the Profile Extension Schema to create.</ref>

yes Extensions come in the following forms:
  • Single-valued: a single extension record is associated with a given customer.
  • Multi-valued: multiple extension records can be associated with a given customer.
attributes Attribute Schema[] no The array of zero or more attributes. Empty when type="classifier".
unique string[] no Lists attributes which are unique in the scope of a given customer. The customer profile cannot include several extension records with identical values for these attributes. For example, let's consider a contact extension with the attributes "phone_num", "ext", "time_of_day".

unique = ["phone_num", "ext"]
