Update
AI-generatedOverview
This node updates a record in Fireberry by specifying the object type and record ID. It supports updating fields either through a visual field builder interface or by providing a JSON object with field names and values. The node is useful for automating updates to Fireberry records in workflows, such as modifying customer data, updating inventory items, or changing status fields based on external triggers.
Use Case Examples
- Update a customer record in Fireberry by selecting the object type 'Customer' and specifying the record ID, then use the field builder to change the customer's email and phone number.
- Provide a JSON object to update multiple fields of a Fireberry record in one step, such as setting 'status' to 'active' and 'lastContacted' to the current date.
