# Creating a customer

The **Create customer** action creates a Service Management Customer with the sender's email address if it does not yet exist, and sets it as the executing user. If it already exists, it will be logged and no customer will be created.

{% hint style="info" %}
**Note**: You have to provide a Service Management project to which you want to assign the customer.
{% endhint %}
