Retrieve User Profile Now Updates the Contact Record
The Retrieve User Profile action now writes everything it fetches straight back to the matched contact — no extra Update Contact step required after a profile fetch.
What's New
- After a successful profile fetch, the action automatically updates the contact with the retrieved data: photo, headline, summary, field IDs, connection status, and more
- Updates use the same field mappings already set in the LinkedIn settings panel — nothing to reconfigure
- No changes to the action's inputs, outputs, or how it runs in a workflow — previously, the action fetched profile data and returned it to the workflow but never touched the contact record; this write-back is the only change
Why It Matters
- Removes the Update Contact step most workflows had to add manually after every profile fetch
- Contact records stay current the moment a profile is retrieved, with zero added workflow logic
- Existing workflows keep working exactly as they do today — the update happens automatically alongside the fetch
