# Update Subscription

PATCH https://api.airweave.ai/webhooks/subscriptions/{subscription_id}
Content-Type: application/json

Update an existing webhook subscription.

Use this endpoint to modify a subscription's configuration. You can:

- **Change the URL**: Update where events are delivered
- **Update event types**: Modify which events trigger notifications
- **Enable/disable**: Temporarily pause delivery without deleting the subscription
- **Recover messages**: When re-enabling, optionally recover missed messages

Only include the fields you want to change. Omitted fields will retain their
current values.

When re-enabling a subscription (`disabled: false`), you can optionally provide
`recover_since` to automatically retry all messages that were generated while
the subscription was disabled.
