Google Contact Error: 400 FAILED_PRECONDITION

I'm trying to use Pabbly to update the custom fields in the Google Contact, and I have 2 questions.
1. I got an error 400. What does this mean?
Task History ID: IjU3NjcwNTZhMDYzNzA0Mzc1MjY0NTUzNTUxMzE1MTZiNTQzMCI_3D_pc
Step Name: Google Contacts > Update Contact
Connection Name: Google Contacts #1
Task Error Detail:

{
"error > code": 400,
"error > message": "Request person.etag is different than the current person.etag. Clear local cache and get the latest person.",
"error > status": "FAILED_PRECONDITION"
}

2. There is only 1 custom field in the Pabbly - Update Google Contact flow, but I want to add 3 custom fields to the contact. What shall I do? Can I comma separate all the custom fields?
Thank you
Lan

Hey @valuefocusre

I'm trying to use Pabbly to update the custom fields in the Google Contact, and I have 2 questions.
1. I got an error 400. What does this mean?
Task History ID: IjU3NjcwNTZhMDYzNzA0Mzc1MjY0NTUzNTUxMzE1MTZiNTQzMCI_3D_pc
Step Name: Google Contacts > Update Contact
Connection Name: Google Contacts #1
Task Error Detail:

"error > message": "Request person.etag is different than the current person.etag. Clear local cache and get the latest person.",
"error > status": "FAILED_PRECONDITION"
}
In terms to update the contact, you need to map the Contact ID and the Contact Tag from the Search Contact action step.

Though we have correctly mapped the ids in the action step.

2. There is only 1 custom field in the Pabbly - Update Google Contact flow, but I want to add 3 custom fields to the contact. What shall I do? Can I comma separate all the custom fields?

Also, to use the more custom field please use the "Add/Update Custom field" action step.

Further, we have noticed you have passed the Custom field labels and values in the wrong manner.

Please pass the Label in the "Custom Filed Name Label" and the Value in the "Custom Field Value" field.

I changed to "Add/Update Custom field" action step, and the person is selected (not manually filled), but still get the same error: "Request person.etag is different than the current person.etag. Clear local cache and get the latest person."
Where did I do wrong? Thank you

Hi Thanks for your prompt reply.

I believe you are working on the wrong step. The step with issue is the 2nd one:
Google Contacts: Update Contact. Not Google Contacts : Add/Update Custom Fields

In this Google Contact: Update Contact, there is no ETAG, and it is showing ERROR when click on Save & Send Test Request.

We have tried the action step in the same router action step.

Please check its response. As you have tested in the given action step from your previously mentioned details.
