Describe an action
PATCH/v1/actions/{name}
Change an action’s description. An action that links use but nobody declared is declared by this call.
Requires a full-access live key; test keys get 403 test_key_restricted.
Like create, the response carries zero stats; read them with GET /actions/{name}.
Path parameters
namestringrequired- Action name, as written in
data-zap-action.
Body parameters
descriptionstring- The new description; leaving it out sets it to empty. Limits: at most 500 bytes → 422 invalid_parameter
Errors
restricted_api_keyHTTP 403test_key_restrictedHTTP 403- test-mode keys can send test email and read, not change the account: use a live key
not_foundHTTP 404- action not found (the name is not a valid action name)
invalid_parameterHTTP 422- description: at most 500 bytes
