Output shape

The return data shape depends on the input mode: a single updated Contact object when updating one record, or a list of updated Contact objects when updating multiple records. All updated fields reflect the user's mapping and inputs.

Examples

Example 1: Update a single Contact's email and phone number by providing the Contact ID and mapping the email and phone fields with new values.

Set Input Mode to Single, provide the Contact ID in Contacts, and define the Columns mapping for email and phone fields.

Set Input Mode to Many, provide the JSON array in Contacts List, and map the status and tags fields in Columns and Multi Select Fields if applicable.
