Update the Generic Messenger#

This API is used to update an existing Generic Messenger.

You must specify all of the properties of the Generic Messenger when calling this API with the PUT HTTP method. When used with PUT, this API doesn't merge the existing Generic Messenger and your new data. It replaces the existing Generic Messenger with your new data.

Utilize the PATCH HTTP method to send specific changes to merge into an existing Generic Messenger.

Request#

Global API Key Authentication
Update the Generic Messenger by Id
PUT/api/messenger/{messengerId}
OpenAPI Spec
PATCH/api/messenger/{messengerId}
OpenAPI Spec
note

For backward compatibility, the PATCH method accepts the same media type (specified by a Content-Type of application/json) and body as the PUT request. You can also use the following media types for different behavior:

For details, see the PATCH documentation.

Using a media type of application/json merges the provided request parameters into the existing object. As a result, all parameters are optional with PATCH: only provide the values you want to change. To remove a value, provide a null value. Patching an Array appends all values in the new list to the old list.
