Update a participant in a contract

Updating participant attributes

Using the PUT /contracts/{contract_id}/parties/{party_id}/participants/{participant_id} endpoint, you can update attributes of an existing participant in a contract.

Currently, you can update the following attributes of an existing participant:

  • _permissions
  • delivery_channel
  • email
  • identification_number
  • name
  • phone_number
  • sign_method
  • signatory
  • title
  • two_step_authentication_method.

🚧

Note:

If you run the PUT request with an empty request body,{}, the request won't update the specified participant.

Note:

The owner-side participants cannot update the email attribute.

Step 1. Obtain necessary information

To run the script described in this step, you’ll need the following data:

Headers

Path parameters
CONTRACT_ID The unique ID of the contract where you want to update the participant. You can find the contract ID using the contracts endpoint.
