Keep search data current when a team member sends a clear change request in WhatsApp.
Trigger
New WhatsApp Message Received

Action
Partial Update Objects
Tool to partially update multiple records in the specified index. use when you need to change only selected fields of many objects without replacing entire records. use after confirming objectids and desired updates.
