Hi everyone,

I would like to update Wazo backends contacts directly from api. I only find the request to retrieve the list of contacts but no way for me to update the user directly from the API.

I would want to know if there is something like this for Wazo backends :

Hi @lakil

Wazo backend is the internal user directory, so you should update your user info via confd APIs and you will see the updated result in Wazo backend. Please check the API below:
