FAQ

Questions about Update Contact.

What does the Update Contact action do in Agile CRM?

Partial update on contact fields. Only passed fields change. For "enrich from external source → write back to CRM" workflows where you're augmenting existing records with firmographic or behavioural data.

What inputs does Update Contact require?

Required: Contact ID. Every input accepts a static value or a variable from any upstream node in your workflow.

Can I use dynamic inputs from earlier workflow nodes?

Yes. Any field on this action can pull values from upstream nodes, whether that's a form response, a trigger payload, an AI output, or a lookup result.

What happens if Agile CRM returns an error?

The run history shows the failed step with its input and the error message Agile CRM returned, so you can fix the input and run the workflow again. Automatic retries are built into HTTP steps only, where you can also set your own retry count and delay.

Does Update Contact support batch operations?

Run Update Contact inside a loop to process each item in an array. TinyCommand does not throttle calls for you, so for large arrays add a Delay step if you need to stay within Agile CRM's rate limits.
