FAQ

Questions about Update Person.

What does the Update Person action do in Attio?

Partial update on a person record — only the passed attributes change. Useful for "enriched data from Clearbit/Apollo → write back to Attio" augmentation workflows that keep the CRM record fresh.

What inputs does Update Person require?

Required: Person Record 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 Attio returns an error?

The workflow pauses on the failed node, the error message is captured in the run log, and you can retry the run with one click. Auto-retry policies are configurable per workflow with exponential backoff up to 5 attempts.

Does Update Person support batch operations?

Yes. Run Update Person inside a Loop node to process arrays. Tiny Command handles Attio's rate limits automatically so you don't have to throttle manually.
