Add a contact to a cell using bridge.

Samuel Mueller

I am trying to dynamically add a contact to a contact list cell when a row is added. I keep getting the error :

• failed to execute module : Failed to call update rows : The value for cell in column 7948865717462916, [{"name":"Sam Mueller", "email":"mueller.samuel@mhsil.com"}], did not conform to the strict requirements for type CONTACT_LIST.

This is the format that is in the documentation for bridge. Nothing I try seem to add my contact. Is this not possible?

@Andrée Starå any chance you know the answer to this? I'm just trying to use bridge to update a row and put a contact in a cell in the proper format (want the name to display, not the email address). The column is a single select contact column and everything.

Hey @Samuel Mueller

This came up as not being answered, but I see it's from 2022. Did you find an answer to your question?

Samuel Mueller

@Genevieve P. Yes, I thought you answered it for me!

Haha I thought I did as well! I think this was a post that used to be in the Bridge Group before we closed that type of Group. Let me find the other post and link it here.
