Response
The updated household.
True when this record has an active integration link, including an export from Vega. This is current linkage, not historical origin, and is independent of linked contacts or households. Associated records cannot be patched or deleted through this API, except that a meeting may patch reviewed alone. No provider/account details are exposed.
