I have created a zap to update my google contacts using my app, update flow is as follows:

my app → call webhook with payload → google find contact → google update contact existing contact.

I have all mapped necessary fields using payload data, but i cannot seem to change first name, last name. it doesn’t changed but other fields updated, are there any restriction kinda thing when updating a google contact?

Mapping is just fine, only google contact kinda displayed unupdated data, when you edit the contact, i see the updated first, last names. Just a google thing, zapier works great. Thanks guys.

Please provide screenshots of how your Zap  is configured with mapped data points for the GContacts step.

Try remapping those data points from the trigger step and removing the static “Purev” from the Last Name.
