Create data point on a dataset

Send a new data point to a dataset, without it having to belong to a channel.

A dataset is one connection under a source — the same thing shown as a dataset in the Dovetail UI. Sending data here lets a push-based source (such as the API or Zapier) ingest before any channel subscribes to it. Field values are captured against the source as the data arrives, so once a channel does subscribe, the data is already filterable.

No url is returned. Until a channel subscribes to the source, the data point has no page in Dovetail to link to.
