We have additional data we’d like to update on our Bright Pattern contacts from an external data source - is there a way to do this within a scenario?

We have a Bright Pattern Search Object block, Bright Pattern Create/Update/Delete object blocks in the scenario. So, you can settle them in your scenario in order to work with the contacts.
