This endpoint is used to update a contact group.

The user can update the contact group with a new name or make corrections to the existing name.

There is a rate limit of 60 requests per minute per API token. This limit is shared by all API endpoints except those with their own separate limit (/api/v2/sms/send, /api/v3/sms/send, etc.), so requests to other endpoints also count toward it. If you exceed this limit, you will receive a 429 Too Many Requests status, along with a message indicating when you can try again.

Query Parameters

name string	Specify the name for the contact group	required
group_id integer	The specific contact group ID for update (The group ID will be obtained from the contact-groups API response)	required

Parameters should be URL encoded to ensure they are correctly transmitted. For example, the + character must be encoded as %2B

Example Request and Response

Params:

{
  "group_id": 1,
  "name": "Updated Contact Group Name"
}

Success Response:
