PATCH method from HTTP Request

Hi Guys,

I have to update third party using HTTP PATCH method, but in apex class HTTP Request is not allowing me to send a request using req.setMethos('PATCH'). Is there any way that i can send PATCH request to third party system from apex class. Please give me some ideas.

Thanks.

It appears that Salesforce does not support the PATCH method for HTTP callouts.  There are some proposed workarounds [1] [2] but none of them are particularly good.  Probably your best bet would be to figure out if you can do the callout as a POST instead of PATCH.  You could always file an Idea on the Idea Exchange [3] for Apex to support PATCH.

Salesforce does now support (Winter 21)

inbound PATCH requests, and

outbound PATCH callouts.
