# sales_account_id on PUT /crm/sales/api/contacts/{} is deprecated

Freshsales API deprecated PUT /crm/sales/api/contacts/{id}, body parameter sales_account_id without giving a shutdown date yet.

The Freshsales API deprecated the body parameter sales_account_id on PUT /crm/sales/api/contacts/{id} without a shutdown date. Calls that include this deprecated parameter will eventually fail once it is removed.

## What to use instead

Update your requests to send the contact's accounts using the sales_accounts parameter, structured as an array of {id, is_primary}, instead of sales_account_id.
