Import contact collection

put
https://{region}-api.dotdigital.com/contacts/v3/import

Imports a collection of contacts. Creates contacts if they do not exist and updates contacts if they do. This is an async operation and you will need to check when it is complete by calling getImportStatus

Note: It isn't possible to specify the value for the contactId field when creating a contact, so it is only used to check for a matching contact when specified
