Overview
This node integrates with the Taime Pro API to manage contacts. Specifically, the Update Contact operation allows users to modify an existing contact's details such as name, phone number, and email address by specifying the contact's unique ID.
This operation is useful in scenarios where contact information changes over time and needs to be kept up-to-date in the Taime Pro system. For example, if a customer's phone number or email address changes, this node can update those details automatically within a workflow.
Practical examples:
- Automatically updating customer contact info after receiving updated data from a CRM.
- Synchronizing contact details between different systems by updating Taime Pro contacts.
- Correcting or enriching contact records based on new input data.
Properties
| Name | Meaning |
|---|---|
| Contact ID | The unique identifier of the contact to update (required). |
| Name | The new or updated name of the contact. |
| Phone | The new or updated phone number of the contact. |
| The new or updated email address of the contact. |
Output
The node outputs JSON data representing the updated contact object returned by the Taime Pro API after a successful update operation. This JSON typically includes the contact's ID and any updated fields (name, phone, email) reflecting the current state of the contact in the system.
No binary data output is involved in this operation.
Dependencies
- Requires an active connection to the Taime Pro API.
- Needs an API authentication token or key configured in n8n credentials for Taime Pro.
- The node uses internal helper functions to make HTTP requests to the Taime Pro endpoints.
Troubleshooting
Common issues:
- Invalid or missing Contact ID will cause the update to fail.
- Providing no fields to update (name, phone, email all empty) may result in no changes or an error.
- Network or authentication errors when connecting to the Taime Pro API.
Error messages:
- Errors related to "Contact not found" indicate the specified Contact ID does not exist.
- Authentication errors suggest invalid or missing API credentials.
- Validation errors may occur if field formats (e.g., email) are incorrect.
Resolutions:
- Ensure the Contact ID is correct and exists in Taime Pro.
- Provide at least one field to update.
- Verify API credentials and network connectivity.
- Validate input formats before running the node.
