Lead → Update
AI-generatedSummary
Update a Lead record in Bullhorn by specifying its ID and the fields to change, either via individual field-value pairs or a JSON object payload.
Inputs
- Authentication — Select authentication method: User Credentials (Email & Password) or Enterprise Credentials (API Key). Defaults to Enterprise.
- Enable Operations Log — Optionally enable a second output for audit logs on each write operation.
- ID (required) — The numeric ID of the Lead record to update.
- Input Mode — Choose to input fields as individual pairs or as a JSON object payload.
- Data (JSON) — A JSON string representing the fields and values to update; numeric references are auto-wrapped. Empty or null values are skipped. Used if Input Mode is JSON.
- Fields — A collection of individual Bullhorn fields and their new values to update. Used if Input Mode is Field Pairs.
- Output Fields — Fields to include in every output item, merged into results and error objects.
Output shape
a single updated Lead entity response object containing at least the changed entity ID
The operation accepts either a structured JSON payload or individual fields to update. If the update payload is empty, the operation completes successfully as a no-op. Enabling Operations Log adds a second output with audit log records.
Examples
Example 1: Update a Lead with specific fields
Set Authentication to Enterprise Credentials, specify ID as 12345, Input Mode as Field Pairs, and add field updates like status:'Active', priority:'High'. Disable Operations Log unless audit trail is needed.
Example 2: Update a Lead using a JSON object
Set Authentication to User Credentials, specify ID as 67890, Input Mode as JSON, and provide a JSON string such as '{"status":"Inactive","owner":456}'. Enable Operations Log for audit purposes if desired.
