assign <OTRS_CUSTOMER_REALNAME> via api

We are using the SOAP api to create tickets in OTRS 5.0.10 and it is working fine, the tickets are being created, and all data is being passed over.
But when we try to reply to a ticket created via the API, the "TO" in the "Compose Answer popup" is blank and the Salutation shows the Queue Name instead of the customer real name or email address. Even though in the ticket view, it shows that the "From:" field is populated correctly.
Ticket Information:
From: someone@somewhere.invalid
To: Misc

Hi Ritchie, I guess you are using a wrong article type and/or sender type. If you need commercial support please contact sales@otrs.com mailto:sales@otrs.com ((enjoy)) Carlos Rodríguez

What field do we need to supply with the customer information via the API to populate this (it appears to be the
field that is being used for the salutation, I am not sure what is being used for the "TO" field). Thank You

Thank you for your response, I did a double check and yes, we were not setting the article and sender type correctly.
After making the change, it all seems to be working great.
Thank You
