FAQ

Questions about Update Contact.

What does the Update Contact action do in Brevo?

Partial update on a contact's attributes and list memberships. Only passed fields change. For "enriched from external source → write back" or "plan tier changed → update Brevo for segment accuracy" sync patterns.

What inputs does Update Contact require?

Required: Email or 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 Brevo 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 Contact support batch operations?

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