Changing a contact's email address via API

You can change the email address of an existing contact in Ometria via the Contact API, either using the customer_ID or the contact listing ID.

You can also change an individual contact's email address in the Contact details screen in the app. 

Note: The contact listing ID and customer_IDs are both supplied to Ometria by you, the client, and are not Ometria IDs.

It's very important to make sure the following are consistent:

• The collection - this value must be the same for both records passed

• The contact listing ID - this value must be the same for both records passed

or

• The customer_ID - this value must be the same for both records passed

Changing an email address with customer_ID

Create this record first, containing a collection, an ID, a customer_id and an email address (the values in the code block are examples only):

[ 
     { 
  "@collection": "default", 
  "@type": "contact", 
  "timestamp_acquired": "2018-04-19T09:00:00+00", 
  "id": "uuid_4567", 
  "customer_id": "uuid_4567", 
  "email": "bob@ometria.com", 
  "marketing_optin": "EXPLICITLY_OPTEDIN", 
  "@force_optin": true 
     } 
]

Then submit this record (in a different payload) with the email address updated:

[ 
      { 
  "@collection": "default", 
  "@type": "contact", 
  "id": "uuid_4567", 
  "customer_id": "uuid_4567", 
  "email": "bobby@ometria.com" 
      } 
]

Changing an email address without a customer_ID

Create this record first, containing a collection, ID and an email address (the values in the code block are examples only):

[ 
     { 
  "@collection": "Default", 
  "@type": "contact", 
  "id": "uuid_4576", 
  "email": "john@ometria.com" 
     } 
]

Submit this record after the first record (in a different payload) with the email address updated:

[ 
     { 
  "@collection": "Default", 
  "@type": "contact", 
  "id": "uuid_4576", 
  "email": "johnny@ometria.com" 
     } 
]
