If you're having trouble exporting a custom field to Apollo despite a successful API response, try these steps: 1. Double-check your API key in Clay's settings to ensure it's correct. 2. Review your HTTP API configuration, especially the Body section. Make sure the custom field is properly formatted in the JSON. 3. Verify that you've removed null and undefined values from the request to prevent sending blank data. 4. Log out of Clay and log back in to refresh your session token, as this can resolve export issues. If the problem persists, please copy and paste your JSON configuration into the chat so we can troubleshoot further.

Hey Giulia - To update a custom value through an HTTP API call, follow these steps: First Identify the custom field you want to update. You can get a list of all custom fields using a GET request to https://api.apollo.io/api/v1/typed_custom_fields.
Then • Use a PUT request to update an existing contact • Set the URL to https://api.apollo.io/api/v1/contacts/{contact_id} • Add these headers: • 'Cache-Control: no-cache' • 'Content-Type: application/json' • 'accept: application/json' • 'x-api-key: YOUR_API_KEY'
In the request body, include the custom field you want to update within the "typed_custom_fields" object.
For detailed testing and customization, you can use our API Developer Hub at https://docs.apollo.io/.
