# Update Crm Contact

`PUT /integrations/crm/connections/{connection_id}/contacts/{contact_id}`

## Request

- Base URL: `https://be.graph8.com/api/v1`
- URL: `https://be.graph8.com/api/v1/integrations/crm/connections/{connection_id}/contacts/{contact_id}`
- Auth: HTTP bearer

Partially update a CRM contact. Omitted fields are left alone.

Sending `emails: []` REPLACES the addresses with none; omitting `emails`
leaves them. The difference is the reason this is not a PATCH-shaped
merge - the app's model distinguishes "absent" from "empty" and so does
this one.

## Path parameters

- `connection_id` string, required: The CRM connection to act through.
- `contact_id` string, required

## Headers

- `Authorization` string, nullable
- `X-Target-Org-Id` string, nullable

## Request body

- CrmContactUpdateRequest: A partial update. Every field is optional; omitted fields are untouched. `emails`, `phones`, `custom_fields` and `tags` are optional LISTS rather than list-with-default here, which is the difference that matters: on the create model an omitted list means "none", and on this one it means "leave what is there". Sending `[]` REPLACES with empty.
  - `name` string, nullable
  - `first_name` string, nullable
  - `last_name` string, nullable
  - `emails` CrmEmail[], nullable
    - `email` string, required
    - `email_type` string, nullable: Provider's own label, e.g. `work`. Passed through unchanged.
  - `phones` CrmPhone[], nullable
    - `phone` string, required
    - `phone_type` string, nullable
  - `company_id` string, nullable
  - `company_name` string, nullable
  - `title` string, nullable
  - `address` CrmAddress
    - `street` string, nullable
    - `street2` string, nullable
    - `city` string, nullable
    - `state` string, nullable
    - `postal_code` string, nullable
    - `country` string, nullable
    - `address_type` string, nullable
  - `user_id` string, nullable
  - `is_active` boolean, nullable
  - `custom_fields` CrmCustomField[], nullable
    - `field_name` string, required
    - `field_value` unknown, required
    - `field_type` string, nullable
  - `tags` string[], nullable

## Response `200`

Successful Response

- ApiResponseCrmPayload
  - `data` CrmPayload, required: One CRM record, or one provider response. Open-shaped ON PURPOSE. These bodies carry whatever the provider returned, the field set differs between HubSpot, Salesforce, Pipedrive and SugarCRM, and it grows every time one of them ships something. Pinning it would drop whatever a provider reported that this contract had not caught up on - which on a CRM surface means silently hiding the customer's own data from them.
  - `pagination` PaginationMeta
    - `page` integer, required: Current page number (1-indexed)
    - `limit` integer, required: Items per page
    - `total` integer, required: Total number of items
    - `has_next` boolean, required: Whether there are more pages
    - `next_cursor` string, nullable: Opaque cursor for the next page; null when there are no more items. Pass it back as the `cursor` query param to fetch the following page without computing page numbers.
    - `total_available` integer, nullable: Search endpoints only: how many records really match, when known. Can be larger than `total`, which is capped at the 10,000 results that can be paged. For company search this is a distinct-company estimate. Null when unknown; absent outside search.
    - `total_is_lower_bound` boolean, nullable: Search endpoints only: true when more records match than `total` shows (the result set is larger than the 10,000 results that can be paged). Absent outside search.
    - `notes` string[], nullable: Search endpoints only: plain-language notes about the result, e.g. that more records match than can be paged, or that a reversed `between` range was put in order.
