PATCH
Updates an existing membership without changing its person identity or list. The body is a partial object: omitted fields keep their current values. Send notes: "" to clear notes. Do not send null: the current framework can coerce it to an empty string, which also clears notes rather than preserving them.
string
required
List UUID or case-insensitive name.
string
required
Membership UUID or the member’s person slug. A slug is resolved within the addressed list. For a UUID, the current Gateway updater scopes the lookup to the organization but does not re-check that the UUID’s list_id matches the path list; use a UUID from the addressed list and treat the path/UUID pair as a client responsibility.
string
Optional enum: to-contact, contacted, responded, or passed. Omit to preserve the current stage.
string
Optional string up to 2,000 characters. Omit to preserve notes; send "" to clear them.
The body may be {} because neither property is required. Unknown properties are stripped by the framework. A successful update refreshes updated_at, even if no field value changes.

Response schema

Returns 200 with data as one membership object: id and list_id UUIDs; required person_linkedin_url; nullable person enrichment fields; stage enum; non-null string notes; and ISO added_at/updated_at timestamps.

Errors and recovery

  • 400: invalid stage, notes longer than 2,000 characters, a non-object body, an or a missing platform-key X-FreshTalent-Org-Id UUID. Fix the body/header.
  • 401 (unauthorized) or 402 (payment_required): fix authentication or entitlement.
  • 404 (not_found): the list or membership was not found in the organization; check the UUID/slug with Get list.
  • 429 or 5xx: retry with backoff. Repeating the same PATCH is safe for the same intended values, but reconcile with GET /lists/{id} if the response outcome is unknown.
