Hi @Oliver_Strixner, in the REST documentation for each endpoint there is a “Body Schema” section. In here you will find additional details about each field including valid values for ENUM fields like source_type.

The source_type field on contact is mainly for informational purposes. I don’t believe there is any functionality or logic keyed off of that field. I believe contact_type is similar, it just there for informational purposes.
