Overview

The "Update Contact" operation in the ProspectPro node allows users to modify existing contact information associated with a prospect. This is useful for keeping contact details current, such as updating a contact's name, email, job title, LinkedIn profile, or phone number. For example, if a contact changes their job title or updates their phone number, this operation can be used to reflect those changes in the ProspectPro system.

Properties

Name Meaning
Prospect ID The unique identifier of the prospect to which the contact belongs.
Contact ID The unique identifier of the contact to update. Note: Contacts have two IDs; either this or a derived ID can be used.
Fields to Update A collection of fields that can be updated on the contact. Options include:
- Contact First Name: The first name of the contact.
- Contact Last Name: The last name of the contact.
- Email Address: The contact's email address.
- Job Title: The contact's job title.
- LinkedIn URL: The LinkedIn profile URL of the contact.
- Phone Number: The contact's phone number.

All fields under "Fields to Update" are optional and can be left empty if no update is needed for that particular field.

Output

The output JSON contains the updated contact data as returned by the ProspectPro API after the PATCH request. It reflects the new state of the contact with all updated fields. There is no binary data output for this operation.

Dependencies

  • Requires an API key credential for authenticating with the ProspectPro API.
  • The base URL for API requests is https://api.prospectpro.nl/v1.2.
  • The node uses HTTP PATCH method to update contact information at the /contacts endpoint.

Troubleshooting

  • Missing Required IDs: If either the Prospect ID or Contact ID is not provided, the update will fail. Ensure both IDs are correctly set.
  • Invalid Contact ID Format: Since contacts have two types of IDs, using the wrong one may cause errors. Use either the direct contact ID or the second part of the split ID as indicated.
  • Empty Update Fields: If all update fields are left empty, the API might reject the request or perform no action. Make sure to provide at least one field to update.
  • API Authentication Errors: Verify that the API key credential is valid and has sufficient permissions.
  • Network Issues: Check connectivity to api.prospectpro.nl and ensure no firewall or proxy blocks the requests.
