# Get Contact

> Retrieve a single contact by ID

# Get Contact

Returns a single contact by its unique identifier. The contact must belong to your organization.

<Note>
  `email`, `first_name`, and `last_name` are backfilled from the contact's linked user account when the contact record itself stores them empty (common for contacts created from form submissions or ticket purchases). A value stored directly on the contact always takes precedence. No extra scope is required — this comes with `contacts:read`.
</Note>

## Path Parameters

<ParamField path="contactId" type="string" required>
  The unique identifier of the contact.
</ParamField>
