Link Customer to Loan

Loans and customers are "linked" when they become associated with each other:

• This request is sent through the Loans endpoint. Thus, the Customers object is included in the payload.
• Both loans and customers can be created without being associated to each other.
• Similar to the UI, it's possible link multiple customers to a loan in a single request.
• Like we've mentioned in other requests, many users tend to want to simultaneously link a customer when they create a new loan within one request. If this is the case, it's necessary to create a new customer first. Here's why:
  
  When a new loan is created and linked to a customer all within the same request, it is sent through the Loans endpoint. Therefore, a valid customer ID is needed since a customer can't be created through the Loans endpoint.
  
  For information on how to simultaneously link a customer while creating a new loan, take a look at our Create New Loan documentation.

And for an example of how linking works within the UI, read our Link a Customer to a Loan article.
