    Hello,

    Replace contactUri with _serviceUri in your code

    You have used ContactUri in your code but never defined anywhere in your code...

    Hello,

    Looks like you haven't defined the "contactUri" in your code. Please declare a variable on top something like:

    string contactUri= "https:// <your org>/api/data/v8.1/contacts"
