# Update a broadcast

> Updates broadcast metadata (`name` and a constrained `channel`). `audience` and `schedule` fields
are rejected with `422`. A `channel` change is accepted only while the broadcast is a single-message
draft whose current message is not yet sendable: switching channels will reset the
message content body. This endpoint cannot be used to update broadcast content. See dedicated endpoints.




## OpenAPI

````yaml /api-reference/campaigns-v2/campaigns-v2.yaml patch /broadcasts/{id}
openapi: 3.0.3
info:
  title: Vero Open API v2
  version: 2.0.0
  description: >
    OpenAPI description for the API key-authenticated `api/v2` campaign and

    broadcast endpoints.


    Authentication uses the `Authorization` header. Both of these forms are
    accepted:


    - `Authorization: sk_valid_123`

    - `Authorization: Bearer sk_valid_123`

    - `revision: 2026-03-01`


    Campaign read endpoints require the `campaign:read` permission, and campaign

    write endpoints require the `campaign:write` permission.


    Broadcast read endpoints require the `broadcast:read` permission. A
    broadcast

    is a one-off or recurring message sent to an audience.
