Hi Bhanu,

Please reduce the version number to v53.0 in URL

I hope you are using the correct object api name and record id... Because Id starts 001 is Account in Salesforce...

Thanks,

Hey Bhanu,

HttpRequest doesn't support PATCH as the method.
Possible values for the method type include:
DELETE
GET
HEAD
POST
PUT
TRACE

For solution, refer this link :-

Kindly mark it best answer if it helps,

Hi Priya, 
Thank you so much for the reply. 
I see. But, using POST directly won't help either. In the link that you shared, it is proposed that we go through a proxy and rewrite POST as PATCH. Is there a simpler solution? I am just doing POC for an integration.
