Setting/Updating Contact Profile Photos programmatically via REST Api

  • 1.  Setting/Updating Contact Profile Photos programmatically via REST Api

    Posted 06-22-2026 10:56

    Hi all,

    We're in need of setting or updating contact profile pictures via the REST API. I tried to do so via the PUT /contacts endpoint, but the photo is not being updated.

    Do you know if this is possible or if there exists another workaround to achieve this?

    Hi Asdrubal,

    To update a contact photo you need to upload the photo to the Cvent file endpoint. This will provide an ID denoting the file, you can then use this ID in the Assign Contact Profile Picture endpoint.
