How to subscribe a user with API and save their name?

Question

I want to subscribe a user with email and their name, but it gives this error: 'first_name' is not a valid field for the resource 'profile'.

Im using the Klaviyo PHP SDK.

It works if i just remove first_name and last_name from attributes… But i want to include the name.
Code:

$klaviyo->Profiles->subscribeProfiles([
   "data" => [
       'type'          => 'profile-subscription-bulk-create-job',
       'attributes'    => [
           'custom_source' => 'Marketing Event',
           'profiles'      => [
               'data' => [
                   [
                       'type'       => 'profile',
                       'attributes' => [
                           'email'         => 'email@email.com',
                           'first_name'=>'firstname',
                           'last_name'=>'lastname',
                           'subscriptions' => [
                               'email' => [
                                   'marketing' => [
                                       'consent' => 'SUBSCRIBED',
                                   ],
                               ],
                           ],
                       ],
                   ],
               ],
           ],
       ],
       'relationships' => [
           'list' => [
               'data' => [
                   'type' => 'list',
                   'id'   => 'MYLISTID',
               ],
           ],
       ],
   ],
]);

Hey there @AlexVjm,I thought you must have a syntax error or something but no! It doesn’t work! I can confirm that adding a first_name (or $first_name, firstName, $firstName, properties: { first_name }, etc.) does not work for the bulk-subscribe endpoint.You are returned the following error:{    "errors": [        {            "id": "d121de2f-710b-4d2f-a6cb-d0723610ed93",            "status": 400,            "code": "invalid",            "title": "Invalid input.",            "detail": "'$firstname' is not a valid field for the resource 'profile'.",            "source": {                "pointer": "/data/attributes/profiles/data/0/attributes/$firstname"            },            "meta": {}        }    ]}The documentation reflects this: the only attributes available are email, phone, and subscriptions.But this can’t be right…Anyone else know how to include profile properties on thebulk subscribe endpoint?Cheers,Kevin.
