Summary

Renames an existing IT Glue Contact Type by ID, sending a JSON:API PATCH to contact_types/{id} and returning the updated record.

Inputs

  • Contact Type ID (required) — ID of the contact type to update. The operation throws an error if it is empty.
  • Name (required) — The new contact type name, sent as the name attribute.

Output shape

A single item holding the updated contact type. Attribute keys are converted from kebab-case to camelCase (e.g. name), alongside id and type, plus relationships if IT Glue returns any.

Throws if IT Glue returns no data. API errors (401, 403, 429 and others) are raised as node errors. HTTP 429 responses are retried up to 3 times with backoff before failing. With Continue On Fail enabled, errors come back as an item containing error.

Examples

Example 1: Rename a contact type from 'Employee' to 'Staff' after looking up its ID.

Resource: Contact Type; Operation: Update; Contact Type ID: 12345 (or an expression such as {{$json.id}}); Name: Staff
