An event that triggers when a contact is updated.
The onContactUpdated()
event handler runs when a
contact
is updated.
The received ContactUpdatedEvent
object
contains information about the contact that was updated.
If a contact is updated as part of a merge,
metadata.originatedFrom
is sent as "merge"
.
Otherwise, originatedFrom
is omitted.
Note: Backend events don't work when previewing your site.
function onContactUpdated(event: ContactUpdatedEvent): void;
Information about the contact that was updated and metadata for the event.
// Place this code in the events.js file
// of your site's Backend section.
// Add the file if it doesn't exist.
export function wixCrm_onContactUpdated(event) {
const contactId = event.metadata.entityId;
const contactName = `${event.entity.info?.name?.first} ${event.entity.info?.name?.last}`;
console.log("Contact updated", event);
