Summary

Update an existing Clio contact by ID, sending only the selected fields to Clio. The operation supports OAuth2 or API key authentication and returns the updated contact data.

Inputs

  • authentication — Choose OAuth2 (default) or API Key; configure the matching Clio credential.
  • contactId (required) — Numeric Clio contact ID to update.
  • updateFields — Optional fields to change: email, first name, last name, name, and phone. Email is sent as the primary Work email; phone is sent as the default Mobile number. Empty values are omitted, so this operation does not clear fields by sending an empty string.

Output shape

A single Clio contact record for each input item.

The node sends a PATCH request to the contact endpoint and returns the response's data. If continue-on-fail is enabled, a failed item instead returns an error field.
