Hello guys,

Im trying to do this simple POST:

```auto
curl --location --request POST 'https://mautic.prensa.com/api/contacts/new' \
--header 'Authorization: Basic token' \
--header 'Content-Type: application/json' \
--data-raw '{
    "firstname": "Test",
    "lastname": "Test",
    "email": "test@evolok.com",
    "ipAddress": "192.168.000.00",
    "overwriteWithBlank": true
}'

```

And this is the answer that Im receiving:

```auto
{
    "errors": [
        {
            "message": "Looks like I encountered an error (error #500). If I do it again, please report me to the system administrator!",
            "code": 500,
            "type": null
        }
    ]
}

```

I can create a form, an asset, etc. But when I try to create a new contact, I have this error, any suggestions? Am I doing something wrong on my request?  
Thanks
