​
Query parameters

​
properties

Comma-separated list of additional property names to include alongside the default set for this object type (e.g. ?properties=phone). Names already in the default set are not duplicated. Invalid or disallowed property names return 400.

​
Request body

The body is a JSON object with a single fields property. Each key inside fields is a field internal_name (the same names returned in GET responses, not nested under fields in the response). Only include keys you want to change. Omitted fields keep their current values.

}
KeyDescription
fieldsRequired. Map of internal_name → value for this object type.
