Update contact

PATCH
/contacts/{id}
Applies a partial update to an existing contact. Only fields present in the body are changed; omitted fields are left as-is.
Use ContactUpdate-shaped properties (names align with product field names). Custom fields may be updated under customFields where your schema allows.
404 if the contact id is unknown to the workspace.
