Update a company

Partially updates a company. Only the provided fields are changed — omitted fields remain untouched. `custom_fields` are **merged** with existing values (not replaced). If `domain` is changed, uniqueness within the workspace is enforced.

Delete a contact

Permanently deletes a contact. This action cannot be undone.
