Update a Member

Example

Ensure the following variables are set to your required values using any convenient method:

Key	Description
`CONVERSATION_ID`	The ID of the Conversation.
`USER_ID`	The unique ID of the User.
`MEMBER_ID`	The unique ID of the Member.

Prerequisites

You will need to use an existing Application that contains a Conversation and at least one Member in order to be able to update a Member. See the Create Conversation code snippet for information on how to create an Application and some sample Conversations.
