Hi  
  
I am using Mautic rest api on a .net project. Everything works except updating stages. I use an url like this

Code:

https://MY\_URL/api/stages/4/contact/add/4065?access\_token=MY\_TOKEN

. It returns

Code:

"success": 1

, but update does not happen. I share the piece of the code that I use also.

Code:

 string apiResult = "";

```
        MauticContact mauticContact = GetContactByEmail(contactEmail);
        MauticStage mauticStage = GetStageByName(stageName);

        string uri = _mauticBaseUri + _apiUri + "/stages/" + mauticStage.Id + "/contact/" + "add"+ mauticContact.Id;

```

#if NET461  
using (WebClient client = new WebClient())  
{  
byte[] response =  
client.UploadValues(uri, new NameValueCollection()  
{  
{ “access\_token”, \_token}  
});

```
            apiResult = System.Text.Encoding.UTF8.GetString(response);
        }

```

#endif

As I said before apiResult is

Code:

"success": 1

but nothing happens.
