Version info

• intercom-node version: 4.0.0
• Node version: 16.18.0

Expected behavior

per https://developers.intercom.com/intercom-api-reference/reference/update-a-conversation https://github.com/intercom/intercom-node#update-a-conversation

(async function wrapper() {
  const response = await intercomClient.conversations.update({
    id: 68,
    markRead: true,
    customAttributes: {
      anything: 'you want',
    },
  });
  console.log(response);
}());

I expected the custom_attribute field to be updated.

Actual behavior

I get the following error:

    errors: [
      {
        code: 'parameter_invalid',
        message: "Conversation attribute 'anything' does not exist"
      }
    ]

Steps to reproduce

(async function wrapper() {
  const response = await intercomClient.conversations.update({
    id: 68,
    markRead: true,
    customAttributes: {
      anything: 'you want',
    },
  });
  console.log(response);
}());

Logs

    errors: [
      {
        code: 'parameter_invalid',
        message: "Conversation attribute 'anything' does not exist"
      }
    ]

Thank you!

Hi, the conversation update endpoint will add the custom attribute to the conversation only if the custom attribute exists. If it doesn't, then it will throw an error. Please try this with an existing attribute and do get back to us if you face any issues. Also, a new custom attribute can be created by using the data attributes endpoint. You can try it out here- https://developers.intercom.com/intercom-api-reference/reference/createdataattribute
