Streamlined account and submission creation

Accounts and submissions are hierarchical entities with multiple levels of information. For example, you create an account, then add contacts to the account, then add additional locations, and so on. Request inclusion and composite requests give you the ability to combine those calls into a single request, but you still have to build the object one call at a time. Furthermore, you never get a single response that contains the entire hierarchy; each piece of the hierarchy is returned from a separate call.

For some caller applications, such as those involved in High Volume Quoting (see Configuration Guide), it’s more convenient to build an entire account or submission in a single call, and then process the single set of results returned from those calls. The endpoints in the Graph API give you the ability to do this.
