Updating an email address for a contact via the API

Hi @nationalffaorganiza1 Thanks for reaching out! This isn’t called out directly in the documentation - you’ve already found the correct call to use to make this change! Just make sure that you use the ContactID in your URL - this will allow you to target the correct contact to change the email address for the existing contact! For example, if I wanted to target a contact by ContactID to make an update, it might look like “https://youraccountname.api-us1.com/api/3/contacts/1” versus “https://youraccountname.api-us1.com/api/3/contacts”.

If you don’t know the ID of the contact, you may have to make this GET call in the API first: /api/3/contacts?filters[email]=person@example.com that will return you a json object, this will return you a list called contacts and it will most likely be the first item on the list, ie: contacts[0] then you get grab it here: contacts[0].id, that is the id you need to make the call to update https://youraccountname.api-us1.com/api/3/contacts/{ID HERE}

Hope this helps! Reach out any time with questions.
