> ## Agent Instructions
> Use the public API base URL: https://api.teamfollowup.ai/api.
> Authenticate public API requests with Authorization: Bearer YOUR_API_KEY.
> Use product-owned terms: agents, campaigns, projects (GoHighLevel sub-accounts), contacts, calls, outcomes, skills, cadences, phone numbers.
> Scope requests by locationId rather than projectName.
> Read the guide linked from each API reference group before recommending an endpoint.

# Update a native contact

> Changes the fields you name and leaves the rest alone.

An empty string clears a custom field, which is also the only way to make a "field is set" trigger able to fire again. A field key that does not exist on this sub-account is an error, not a silent drop.

Changing `phone` re-checks the do-not-call history for the new number, on the same rule as a create: correcting a typo onto a number that asked not to be called brings that decision with it.

Cookie-auth callers must send the `x-csrf-token` header.

Required API key scope: `contacts:write`.

    API reference for the TFUAI SaaS server.


    All published endpoints are mounted under `/api`. Responses use a standard
    envelope: `{ "success": true, ... }` on success and `{ "success": false,
    "error": "..." }` on failure.


    Product API modules are being launched module by module. This spec currently
    exposes only contracted public modules.


    Authenticate public API requests with an API key in the `Authorization`
    header: `Authorization: Bearer YOUR_API_KEY`.

      What runs after a call lands: for each outcome (booked, opted out, asked
      for a callback…), an ordered chain of actions — tag the contact, move a
      pipeline stage, send an SMS, book an appointment. Stored as a graph:
      `nodes` are the actions, `edges` say what follows what, and
      `dispositionEntries` maps each outcome to the node its chain starts at.


      **Pick the narrowest endpoint that does the job.**


      | To | Call | |

      | --- | --- | --- |

      | See what fires per outcome | `GET .../workflow/digest` | Reads as plain
      text, no graph walking |

      | Add steps to an outcome | `POST .../outcomes/{outcome}/nodes` | Server
      derives node ids, edge ids, handles, layout |

      | Change a message, tag or setting | `PATCH .../workflow` | Merges;
      carries no graph, so it cannot damage one |

      | Remove one step | `DELETE .../nodes/{nodeId}` | Also re-links the chain
      around it |

      | Author or replace the whole graph | `PUT .../workflow` | Replaces
      everything you send |


      `PUT` is the only one that can re-wire, position nodes, build an `if`,
      save an unconfigured draft, or copy a whole workflow — and the only one
      that can overwrite a change someone else made after you read it. Use it
      when you are genuinely authoring the graph, and send `expectedVersion`
      when you do. For everything else the narrower endpoints are both easier
      and safer.
