Webform "Edit Existing" Not Working

Getting this message upon form submission to https://caw.maximizercrmlive.com/Webform.aspx?request=submitwebform&token=xxx :"This form cannot be processed because the 'id' and 'contact' parameters are not present."

Initially I was hoping if the webform was set to create contact, but the add entry duplicate check was set to, for example, email address, then it would update the contact upon form submission. Instead it creates duplicates.

So now I'm trying to use the webform modify existing instead of create new, but I'm getting the above error message on form post. Does the form submission look up the associated contact from the contact list based on the mandatory fields? Do I have to provide the ID of the contact to update somehow?

Any help would be appreciated.

For reference, I'm using the API to create a contact, then I'm doing a form submission to the webapps to hopefully update the created contact, but I'm unsure what's required based on the documentation. The reason I'm using API AND webform is beacuse the form is very large, it just seemed easier.
