Overview

This node operation updates multiple contacts in batch using the deprecated v1 API endpoint of the Telli service. It accepts an array of contact objects in JSON format, each representing a contact to be updated. The node sends a PATCH request to the Telli API's batch update endpoint to modify the contacts in one request, which is efficient for bulk updates.

Use Case Examples

1. Updating contact details for multiple customers in a CRM system simultaneously.
2. Batch updating phone numbers or email addresses for a list of contacts imported from another system.
