Lead → Update
AI-generatedSummary
Update an existing Lead record in Bullhorn by specifying the record ID and the fields to change, either via UI field-value pairs or a JSON object.
Inputs
- Authentication — Choose the authentication method: User Credentials (Email & Password) or Enterprise Credentials (API Key). Defaults to Enterprise.
- Enable Operations Log — Optional boolean to emit an audit log row to a second output for each write operation.
- ID (required) — The numeric ID of the Lead record to update.
- Input Mode — Select how to build the update payload: Field Pairs (UI) mode to specify individual fields or JSON Object mode to provide the entire payload as JSON.
- Fields (updateData) — When using Field Pairs input mode, specify one or more Bullhorn Lead fields and their new values to update.
- Data (JSON) — When using JSON Object input mode, provide a JSON string containing field-value pairs to update; empty or null values are skipped, enabling selective updates.
- Output Fields — Fields to include in every output item, merged into results regardless of success or failure.
Output shape
a single updated Lead record response from Bullhorn's API
The update operation requires a valid Lead ID and will apply changes only to specified fields. If the JSON payload is empty, the operation succeeds as a no-op. The operation can optionally emit an audit log row to a secondary output if enabled.
Examples
Example 1: Update Lead Fields Using Field Pairs Mode
Set the lead ID to update, choose Input Mode 'Field Pairs', and specify the fields such as status="Active", ownerId=123.
Example 2: Update Lead Using JSON Object Mode
Set the lead ID and choose Input Mode 'JSON Object'. Provide a JSON payload like {"status": "Active", "ownerId": 123} to perform selective updates.
