Update Record

invoiceninja.update_record

ActionBusiness appsconnection required

Calls the Invoice Ninja API with the connection's credentials.

Update a client, invoice, payment, quote, task or expense by id. Send every child record you want to keep: omitted contacts or line items are dropped, because Invoice Ninja treats an update as a whole-entity write.

Configuration

data The fields to write, as Invoice Ninja names them, including every child record that should survive the update.	object	Yes	—	≥ 1 characters	{"name":"Acme Corporation"}
