Hi folks,
I’m trying to achieve the following:
When a contact in Xero is updated (name and email address), I can update the Airtable “users” table. I would like to amend the User data in Softr too so that my client doesn’t have to manipulate anything in the Users section.
Is that possible because I can’t find any API reference to a potential suitable endpoint?
Thank you
Unfortunately, it’s not possible. There’s no API for changing a user’s email address, there’s no way to do it in the studio, and there’s no way for the user to do it themselves.
This has come up a number of times so I’m sure Softr folks are aware of this limitation.
Thanks. Users can possibly change their name, email and password in the profile page but I don’t use it, in my case it’s a B2B website and Xero rules it all! 
Isn’t this posible with a Make scenario: Xero-trigger, update airtable, get airtable, delete user in Softr ans then add the user again… I think this will ‘update’ the user in Softr.
I think you could delete the user and then recreate them, but I suspect that would cause breakage in various places. For example, I bet that any magic links previously associated with the user would stop working, and I also bet that any permissions previously granted to the user would disappear.
Not email.
Deleting and recreating would break many processes, this is not even an option. The only way would be to create a brand new customer account, all the way down from xero to softr and airtable. Thanks for your inputs!
No worries! Suggestions always welcome. And the root of the problem is that there needs to be an API for changing the email address of a user.
