Overview

This node updates an existing contact in the IT Glue system. It is useful for scenarios where you need to modify specific details of a contact, such as their name, phone number, email, or other attributes, without affecting other data. For example, you can update a contact's phone number or mark them as important.

Use Case Examples

1. Updating the first name and last name of a contact by specifying the contact ID and the new names.
2. Changing the primary email address and adding notes to a contact record.

Troubleshooting

• Ensure the Contact ID is valid and exists in the IT Glue system; otherwise, the update will fail.
