Is there any way to set the language_override attribute on a Contact?

The Contacts model have an attribute called language_override, but when I try to set it when creating a new Contact, or to update it on an existing Contact the attribute seems to be ignored. Docs also doesn't mention it for those operations, so I guess that is as-designed.

 

Is there any way I can change it?

Hello @claus n​ ,

 

It's not possible to set the language_overide attribute during contact creation.

 

You can use it in JavaScript API to define user language based on your platform settings.

var intercomSettings = { language_override: 'de' };

Let me know if you have any further question about this topic, will be more than happy to provide help.

 

Best,

Roy

I’d love for this to be possible to update via the REST API
