Mautic: 4.4.4.

Does anyone know how to assign a contact’s location (country) if I have the IP address (but dont have the location info)? I am inserting contact through API, but there is no built-in IP address field.

Thanks.

You can add the country over API in the `country` field will do it.

Thanks @joeyk . That means I need to somehow get a country first before passing it to Mautic, right? There is no way to get Mautic to determine the country by IP, right?

Not that I know if, but that is maxmind for.  
You can use the maxmind db to query it:
