Update a Geotab customer without blanking other fields
For account and sales teams who keep Geotab MyAdmin customer and contact details current.

Connector
Connect Geotab MyAdmin, pick your AI tool and paste the prompt.
The problem
A partial update blanks the rest of the customer
Editing a Geotab customer means finding the right account, then sending the whole record back with the changes. Send a partial record and other fields can be blanked; pick the wrong account and the wrong customer is updated.
Without PopdockAI
- Search for the account by number or name
- Copy the whole record into the edit
- Change one field and hope the rest survives
- Fix blanked fields later
With PopdockAI
- Exactly one account is matched, or candidates are listed
- The update is built from the current record plus your change
- Old and new values are shown per field
- One update after you confirm, with the record read back
The prompt
Use this prompt
Copy it into any AI tool connected to PopdockAI. Swap the values in braces for your own.
**Objective:** Apply {changes} to customer {customer}. These tools change live MyAdmin data. Never call a write tool before the user has explicitly confirmed the exact values in this conversation.
**Step 1: Find the customer**
Call `geotab-myadmin-get-customer` with account = {customer}; if nothing, try company-name.contains = {customer}. Exactly one match, or list them and ask.
**Step 2: Build the change**
* Customer fields (name, legal name, address, tax ID, industry): build the full customer as a JSON object from the current row plus the changes, keeping account-id as the id.
* Contact fields (name, email, phone): build the contact as a JSON object.
**Step 3: Confirm**
Show old value and new value per field. Ask the user to confirm.
**Step 4: Write, once**
* Customer fields: `geotab-myadmin-add-edit-customer` with customer = the JSON object.
* Contact fields: `geotab-myadmin-edit-user-contact` with user-contact = the JSON object and override-address-validation = false.
**Step 5: Verify**
Call `geotab-myadmin-get-customer` again and report the changed fields.
**Rules & Guidelines:**
* Never send a customer object built without the current values; that could blank fields.
**Validation:**
* If {changes} is unclear, ask before Step 3.Who it's for
