====SmartConnect API Enhancements====
We’ve introduced two new interface options to the SmartConnect API settings:
* Run in Background: This option queues changes to run in batches, enhancing overall performance.
* Bypass Field Type Validation: This allows updates to records even when the data format does not match the expected field type such as number or date.
For example, if you sent the following request for a user record
othersettings : {""uidfields"": ""sf_Phone;;cf_fieldintitle2"", ""noupdateifexist"":1}
If the phone field (sf_Phone) and the custom field (cf_fieldintitle2) match a user record, the record will not be created. Update operations are not processed when using record identifiers.
