Is it possible to update tags on a customer with the api

rares

My client would like to be able to programmatically update the tags on a customer when updating. I have not seen that this is possible with the api and was wondering if anyone is aware if this is possible. 

Thanks

I had a similar requirement and was able to implement it just fine via the API. Here below is a sanitized example of a Fiddler trace, where I queried a specific customer record, including the Note relation. Then I issued a PUT statement to update the customer's note. The API response displays the updated note value.

All based off what's listed in the API docs --> https://developers.lightspeedhq.com/retail/endpoints/Customer/. 

Hope this helps!
