Usage

bird contacts batch [flags]

Description

Create or update many contacts in one request, matched by the identifiers each entry carries

Bulk upsert takes a JSON body. Pass --body-file with a "contacts" array (each entry the same shape as create) and an optional "audience_ids" array that every contact is added to. Each entry is matched automatically against every identifier it supplies (email, phone_number, external_id): no match creates a contact, one match updates it, and identifiers that belong to two different contacts fail that entry alone. Pass --match-on (or "match_on" in the body) to force one key instead, which every entry must then carry. Up to 1,000 contacts per request; per-contact results come back in submission order.

Build the request from flags, a JSON ContactUpsertRequest body via --body-file ("-" reads stdin), or both — a flag overrides the matching body field. Run --example to print a ready-to-edit body, or --dry-run to print the resolved request without sending it.
