Retrieve contact
Use this method to retrieve details about a contact.
To retrieve a contact, you need its contactId. Our gateway returned the contactId in the [Create Processing Account](https://docs.payroc.com/api/schema/boarding/merchant-platforms/create-processing-account) method.
**Note:** If you don't have the contactId, use the [List Contacts](https://docs.payroc.com/api/schema/boarding/processing-accounts/list-contacts) method to search for the contact.
Our gateway returns the following information about a contact:
- Name and contact method, including their phone number or mobile number.
- Role within the business, for example, if they are a manager.
