Hi @TKucur, Thank you for reaching out to the Community! Just to confirm, you’d like to create messages (logged emails) on contacts’ CRM records with the help of the API? If that’s the case, you can use the Engagements API! You’ll find detailed instructions[in this help article](https://developers.hubspot.com/docs/api/crm/email). I hope this helps! Cheers Mia, Community Team ---

Dear mia I researched engagements api. I created contact from apis and can be able to view in hubspot, ver well. my aim is , I want to create message(s) based on that contact. before creating message, I think, I have to create thread. after that, I have to create messages belonging that thread. but thread does not have userId(s) . I am little bit confused with the architecture. could you tell me the right way to have api(s) to create the messages for the contact I have just created? ---

Hi @TKucur, I apologize for the late reply! I’ve noticed that you[created a new post](https://community.hubspot.com/t5/CRM/how-to-create-messages-via-api-belonging-the-contact-just/m-p/718035) – I’ve tagged a couple of API experts there and asked them for advice as I’m not very familiar with APIs. I hope that’s alright! Have a great day Mia, Community team
