Update Contact's custom property

[jandrews]

Hello,

I'm using the API documentation to update a single property of a contact. I keep getting the below error message:

Error: One or more parameters provided did not match the function signature

My function signature mirrors tat of the documentation. and I cannot figure out what I am doing wrong. The custom property I am trying to update is a string value. Please help.

Hey @jandrews,

In order for me to further troubleshoot this, could you share with me the following:

1. Are you using the PATCH /crm/v3/objects/contacts/{contactId} endpoint?

2. If so, what's the exact POST body that you're using?

3. What's the authentication type that you're using - API key/OAuth?

4. What's the portal ID in question?

Hi Wendy,

Below are my responses:

1. Yes, I am using the PATCH /crm/v3/objects/contacts/{contactId} endpoint

2. ({
         method: 'PATCH',
         url: 'https://api.hubapi.com/crm/v3/objects/contacts' + hubspotID,
         headers: {
           'content-type': 'application/json'
         },
         queryParams: {
           'hapikey': TEST_HUBSPOT_API_KEY
         },
         body: JSON.stringify({
           'properties': {
               'stripe': stripeID
           }
         }),
         json: true
     });
   
   Varaibles in the above code: hubspotID = vid and stripeID = customer id

3. I'm using hapikey for authorization
4.  portal ID is 7296433

Hey @jandrews,

On my end, when I test out the following:

PATCH crm/v3/objects/contacts/11801

POST body

{
        "properties": {
            "stripe": 123
        }
      }

I was able to a 200 response.

In this case, it seems that the url that you're using may be missing a '/'. Right now you're using: 

      url: 'https://api.hubapi.com/crm/v3/objects/contacts' + hubspotID,

however after contacts there should be a '/'. As such, could you try the following:

      url: 'https://api.hubapi.com/crm/v3/objects/contacts/' + hubspotID,

 and see if it works?

Got it working! thanks for your help

@WendyGoh , unfortunately, the "/" did not make a difference. I still get the response

Error: One or more parameters provided did not match the function signature
