Updates a subscriber’s first_name, last_name, gender and labels.

Fields you leave out are cleared, not kept. first_name, last_name and gender are overwritten on every call: send only first_name and the last name and gender are blanked (verified against the live API). Even a call with no fields at all returns success and blanks all three. To change one field, read the subscriber with Subscriber Get first and send all three back.

label_ids behaves differently: it only adds labels and never removes any, and an empty value changes nothing. Use Remove Labels to take one off. Give the ids as a comma-separated list, e.g. 12,15.

By REST convention this would ideally be a PUT request — but the ChatSyncs API only exposes it as POST. Use POST as shown below.

Where to find a label’s ID: open Subscriber Manager → Labels — the ID is shown next to each label name, ready to copy. Or call Label List to fetch all of them at once. See Finding Your IDs & API Token for a screenshot.
