Hey team,

Just a quick question: Occasionally, when creating a very simple company for a job through the API, I get a 400 error.

My JSON object is

{  
“uuid”: “”,  
“name”: “FirstName LastName”  
}

so I can’t see why I get the 400 Client error: `POST https://api.servicem8.com/api_1.0/company.json` resulted in a `400 Bad Request`

But if you leave it, and come back it works.

Any suggestions would be greatly appreciated.
