POST for Updating Profiles

Question

Hi there,I’m currently using the legacy API (https://a.klaviyo.com/api/identify) to use a webhook to update Klaviyo profiles. However, with the legacy API being end-of-lifed in early 2024, I was wondering whether there was going to be a POST equivalent in the new API?Currently, the only equivalent I can see in the new API (see below link) performs a PATCH request. But the Klaviyo documentation states only POST requests work with Klaviyo webhookshttps://developers.klaviyo.com/en/reference/update_profile I’m a marketer, not a developer, so not entirely sure if they are the same thing. But rather than trying to hack my way through, I just wanted to see if a Klaviyo webhook is possible with even when it is a PATCH request:https://a.klaviyo.com/api/profiles/{id}/ If not, will there be a POST equivalent in the future?

Hi @Wei Tanand welcome to the Community!Thanks for the great question - I reached out to Engineeringand it turns out there has already been some internal discussion about this.While thereisn’t currently support for non-POSTrequests as you rightfully deduced, a workaround for your use case could be to use the Create Client Profileendpoint, which allows you to either create or update an existing profile using a POST request.I hope this helps, and thanks for using the Community!- Brian
