## Key Differences from Contact Created

### Updated Timestamps

* **`updatedAt`**: Shows when the contact was last modified
* **`createdAt`**: Remains the original creation timestamp
* **`joinedTime`**: Original join timestamp (unchanged)

### Updated Attributes Tracking

* **`updatedAttributes`**: Array of fields that were modified in this update
* This field helps identify what specific information changed

### Hook Type

* **`hookType`**: Set to "Contact updated" to distinguish from creation events

## Key Fields Explained

### Basic Contact Information

* **`id`**: Unique contact identifier (unchanged)
* **`firstName`**, **`lastName`**: Contact's name (may be updated)
* **`email`**: Primary email address (may be updated)
* **`phoneNumber`**: Primary phone number (may be updated)
* **`secondary_email`**, **`secondary_phoneNumber`**: Additional contact methods
* **`status`**: Contact qualification status (may change)

### Event Information

* **`event`**: Details about the event the contact was originally created from
  * This typically doesn't change unless the contact is moved to a different event

### Questions and Answers

* **`questionsAndAnswers`**: All current form responses from the contact
  * May include new or updated responses
  * Contains both numbered format and direct key-value pairs

### Tracking Data

* **`tracking`**: UTM parameters and tracking information
  * May be updated if new tracking data is available
  * `first_utm_*` fields preserve original attribution

### Call Information

* **`latestCall`**: Details about the most recent scheduled call
  * May be updated if new calls are scheduled
  * Includes call host information

### Disqualification Logic

* **`disqualifyingGroup`**: Any current disqualifying conditions
  * May change based on updated responses or status changes

## Use Cases

This webhook is useful for:

* **CRM Synchronization**: Keep your CRM updated with the latest contact information
* **Data Validation**: Verify that contact updates are properly processed
* **Audit Trails**: Track changes to contact information over time
* **Workflow Triggers**: Initiate follow-up actions when specific fields are updated
* **Analytics**: Monitor contact engagement and information changes
* **Lead Scoring Updates**: Re-evaluate contact quality based on new information

## Response Requirements

Your webhook endpoint should:

* Return a **2xx status code** to acknowledge receipt
* Respond within **5 seconds** to avoid retries
* Handle duplicate events (idempotency)
* Log the contact ID and updated attributes for debugging
* Consider the `updatedAttributes` field to determine what changed

## Best Practices

1. **Check `updatedAttributes`**: Use this field to identify what specifically changed
2. **Compare with Previous State**: Store previous contact state to track changes
3. **Handle Partial Updates**: Not all fields may be present in every update
4. **Validate Changes**: Ensure the updated data meets your business rules
5. **Update Timestamps**: Use `updatedAt` to determine if you have the latest data
