# Updates a contact

`PUT /Entity/Contact`

If valid, the contact will be updated directly in Infinity.
            
Notes must not exceed the max upload size configured in Infinity.
            
A Photo must not exceed the max upload size configured in Infinity.

The max upload size can be retrieved from the /Reference/MaxUploadSize method (In KB).
            
All id fields must match valid reference data from the /Reference methods.
            
The Telecoms field can only contain one item set as IsPreferredTelecom

If passed, the CustomFieldData must adhere to the field definitions retrieved from the /Reference/CustomFields method especially
regarding item ids, in the case of combo boxes and multi-select lists, min/max values for dates and max length for text. Note that the Contact
update request will fail if the custom data is not valid.
