# Update a notification configuration

PATCH https://api.modulards.com/api/public/v1/alerts/{alert_id}
Content-Type: application/json

Changes what you send on a notification configuration and leaves the rest as it is: fields you leave out, and events you do not list in `items`, keep their stored value. Send only the fields you want to change.

**Body**

All fields are optional and take the same values as in "Create a notification configuration".

* `name` (string, optional): at most 30 characters.
* `default` (boolean, optional): whether it is the organization's default configuration.
* `status` (`enabled` or `disabled`, optional): whether the configuration is active.
* `email_channel`, `whatsapp_channel`, `slack_channel`, `discord_channel` (boolean, optional): which channels are active. WhatsApp, Slack and Discord depend on the organization's plan, as in "Create a notification configuration".
* `items` (array, optional): entries of `{type, status}` for the events you want to change.
