Overview

This node integrates with the uChat API to manage custom fields for contacts. Specifically, the 'Definir Valor' operation allows users to set the value of a single custom field for a specified contact identified by a unique user identifier (user_ns). This is useful in scenarios where you want to update or assign specific custom data to a contact, such as preferences, tags, or other personalized information.

Use Case Examples

1. Setting a custom field value to track a user's subscription status.
2. Updating a contact's preferred language or region in a custom field.

Properties

Output

JSON

• * - Response from the uChat API after setting the custom field value, typically including confirmation or updated contact data.

Dependencies

• Requires an API key credential for authenticating with the uChat API at https://www.uchat.com.au/api.

Troubleshooting

• Ensure the 'userNs' (user_ns) is correctly specified and corresponds to an existing contact; otherwise, the API call may fail.
• The 'fieldName' must be a valid custom field name or ID recognized by the uChat system; invalid names or IDs will cause errors.
• The 'fieldValue' should be a valid string; improper formatting or unsupported values might cause the API to reject the request.
• Common error messages may include authentication failures (check API credentials), invalid parameters (check field names and user_ns), or network issues (verify connectivity to the uChat API).
