4. To add fields to the record you will need to add properties to the `Record body` object. When adding a property the key represents the field name in Act-On. This has to be exactly as it appears in the Act-On system. If you are not sure what the fields names are, they can be found using the `Get List` operation. The response of the `Get List` contains an array named `headers` which contains all the fields that can be added to the record body.
