# Creating a custom generator preset

To create a new generator preset, use:

[<mark style="background-color:green;">POST</mark> api/Presets](https://app.tonic.ai/apidocs/index.html#/Presets/CreatePreset)

In the request, you provide a preset object with the details for the new generator preset.

The following example preset object creates a generator preset for the Name generator.

This version of the Name generator is intended for values in the format `Last Name, First Name`. For example, `Smith, John`. It preserves capitalization and is not consistent.

```
{
  name: "Name - Last Name, First Name"
  description: "Use for values in the format Last Name, First Name."
  generatorId: "NameGenerator"
  "metadata": {
    "links": {
      "metadata": {
        "nameType": "LastCommaFirstName",
        "preserveCapitalization": true,
        "isConsistent": false  
      }
    }
  }
}
```

For a successful request, the response contains the full generator preset details, including the identifier of the new generator preset.
