const creator = await cc.getCreator(creatorId);

await fetch('https://your-crm.com/api/contacts', {
  method: 'POST',
  headers: { 'Authorization': `Bearer ${CRM_TOKEN}` },
  body: JSON.stringify({
    email: creator.email,
    firstName: creator.firstName,
    lastName: creator.lastName,
    customFields: {
      cc_handle: creator.handle,

    data: {
      firstName: event.creatorFirstName,
