This contact should then be marked as hidden and not appear in the Contact
drop downs in the UI, or on the main Contact Index page unless you
specifically filter for Hidden Contacts.
I am currently working on an integration and would really like the option
to be able to hide contacts when I import them, I have checked the API Docs
and it seems you cannot currently set this.
The main purpose for this flag for me would be that we are importing many
contacts into freeagent from another system so we can mirror the invoices
for accounting purposes but apart from that we do not actually wish to see
these contacts within freeagent when using it day to day for other
purposes.
Just one thing if your watching this post I ran the above suggestion to add
the hidden contacts but when running my script to show all contacts using
no view filters as the default should be all.
The API returned zero results, even though I had 5 hidden contacts, it
seems that the docs for this part need updating as well as I had to issue
the getContacts with the view
command https://api.sandbox.freeagent.com/v2/contacts?view=hidden

There is another mistake in the docs. The default for contacts is actually
“active” which is the same as the default in the main app. To show “all”
contacts use:
