Hi, does anyone know if it is possible to relate Contacts with Companies with the following Request [Mautic Developer Documentation](https://developer.mautic.org/#create-contact) ?  
Normally it is possible by adding company-parameter to the postdata like this:  
$contactData = [  
‘firstname’ =\> ‘John’,  
‘lastname’ =\> ‘Doe’,  
‘email’ =\> 'john@doe.com,  
‘company’ =\> ‘Company Name A’]  
But we have Companies that can share the same Company-Name, which is why we added an additional custom Field as unique identifier in Mautic GUI.  
Is it possible to define the Contact-Company-Relation during [Mautic Developer Documentation](https://developer.mautic.org/#create-contact) while using custom fields for the unique identifier instead of the companyname?
