**🧍 Customer Block**

| Parameter    | Type   | Required | Description                                                              |

| `password`   | string | Yes      | Customer's password.                                                     |
| `timezone`   | string | Yes      | Timezone (e.g., Asia/Kolkata).                                           |

| `parent_uid` | string | No       | UID of an existing customer account to assign this account as its child. |

💡 **Hint:**

* **Customer Groups** must be created first in the **SenderWiz Admin Panel**. Each group controls what a customer can or cannot do — such as whether they can create/upload lists, how many contacts they can manage, or how many emails they’re allowed to send, among other settings.
* 👉 Use the **Group Name** (e.g., `"Pro-Group"`) in the `group` parameter when creating the customer.
* 🧩 To make a customer a **child account**, provide the `parent_uid` of an existing (non-child) customer account. 🚫 A customer that is already assigned as a child **cannot be set as a parent**.

**🏢 Company Block (Optional)**

| Parameter   | Type   | Required | Description                                       |
| ----------- | ------ | -------- | ------------------------------------------------- |
| `name`      | string | Yes      | Company name.                                     |
| `country`   | string | Yes      | Company country (refer to countries endpoint).    |
| `zone`      | string | Yes      | Company zone/state (refer to countries endpoint). |
| `city`      | string | Yes      | Company city.                                     |
| `zip_code`  | string | Yes      | Zip or postal code.                               |
| `address_1` | string | Yes      | Main address line 1.                              |
| `address_2` | string | No       | Secondary address line 2.                         |
