## Update a sender

`client.sender.update(stringid, SenderUpdateParamsbody, RequestOptionsoptions?): SenderUpdateResponse`

**post** `/v1/senders/{id}`

Replaces a sender's pacing and returns the updated sender. Send exactly the sender's step types, with every value: read the sender first to change only some of them. Concurrent updates are last-write-wins.

Each step type must stay within the ceilings the workspace's own limits have, and `maxGapSeconds` can't be below `minGapSeconds`: `EMAIL` on an OAuth sender `dailyLimit` at least 1 and gaps 60 to 3600 seconds; `EMAIL` on an SMTP sender `dailyLimit` 1 to 100 and gaps 60 to 3600 seconds; `LINKEDIN_INVITE` `dailyLimit` 1 to 30 and gaps 120 to 3600 seconds; `LINKEDIN_MESSAGE` `dailyLimit` 1 to 60 and gaps 120 to 3600 seconds. Out-of-range values, or step types the sender doesn't send, return 400.

Returns 409 if the sender is archived; archived senders can be read but not updated.

### Parameters

- `id: string`

  Unique identifier of the sender to update.

- `body: SenderUpdateParams`

  - `pacing: Pacing`

    The sender's new pacing, replacing all of its current values. Send exactly the step types the sender's channel sends: `EMAIL` for an email sender; `LINKEDIN_INVITE` and `LINKEDIN_MESSAGE` for a LinkedIn sender.

    - `EMAIL?: Email`

      Email steps. Present only on an email sender.

      - `dailyLimit: number`

        Most sends of this step type in any rolling 24 hours.

      - `maxGapSeconds: number | null`

        Upper bound of the minimum spacing, in seconds. Before each send, a minimum spacing is drawn at random between `minGapSeconds` and this value, and the send waits until that long after the previous one. Sends can be further apart, for example outside the send window or once `dailyLimit` is reached. Null means the minimum spacing is always `minGapSeconds`.

      - `minGapSeconds: number`

        Lower bound of the minimum spacing between two of its sends, in seconds.

    - `LINKEDIN_INVITE?: LinkedinInvite`

      LinkedIn connection requests. Present only on a LinkedIn sender.

      - `dailyLimit: number`

        Most sends of this step type in any rolling 24 hours.

      - `maxGapSeconds: number | null`

        Upper bound of the minimum spacing, in seconds. Before each send, a minimum spacing is drawn at random between `minGapSeconds` and this value, and the send waits until that long after the previous one. Sends can be further apart, for example outside the send window or once `dailyLimit` is reached. Null means the minimum spacing is always `minGapSeconds`.

      - `minGapSeconds: number`

        Lower bound of the minimum spacing between two of its sends, in seconds.

    - `LINKEDIN_MESSAGE?: LinkedinMessage`

      LinkedIn messages. Present only on a LinkedIn sender.

      - `dailyLimit: number`

        Most sends of this step type in any rolling 24 hours.

      - `maxGapSeconds: number | null`

        Upper bound of the minimum spacing, in seconds. Before each send, a minimum spacing is drawn at random between `minGapSeconds` and this value, and the send waits until that long after the previous one. Sends can be further apart, for example outside the send window or once `dailyLimit` is reached. Null means the minimum spacing is always `minGapSeconds`.

      - `minGapSeconds: number`

        Lower bound of the minimum spacing between two of its sends, in seconds.

### Returns

- `SenderUpdateResponse`

  - `id: string`

    Unique identifier of the sender.

  - `archivedAt: string | null`

    When the sender was archived, or null if it is active. Archived senders never send.

  - `channel: "EMAIL" | "LINKEDIN"`

    Whether this sender sends email or LinkedIn messages.

    - `"EMAIL"`

    - `"LINKEDIN"`

  - `createdAt: string`

    When the sender was created.

  - `emailAddress: string | null`

    The address email from this sender is sent from. Null for LinkedIn senders, or when the connected account has no address.

  - `health: "UNVERIFIED" | "HEALTHY" | "UNHEALTHY"`

    `HEALTHY` can send. `UNHEALTHY` cannot send until `healthReason` is resolved. `UNVERIFIED` means no health verdict yet: an email sender in this state cannot send until it passes a health check, while a LinkedIn sender is never health-checked, so a working LinkedIn sender is usually `UNVERIFIED` and can send.

    - `"UNVERIFIED"`

    - `"HEALTHY"`

    - `"UNHEALTHY"`

  - `healthReason: string | null`

    Why the sender is `UNHEALTHY` or `UNVERIFIED`, for example `ACCOUNT_DISCONNECTED`, `BOUNCE_THRESHOLD` or `INVITE_LIMIT`; null when healthy.

  - `objectType: "sender"`

    Always `sender`.

    - `"sender"`

  - `owner: string | null`

    Member ID of the person who owns this sender, or null when no workspace membership can be resolved.

  - `pacing: Pacing`

    How this sender paces each step type it sends, keyed by sequence step type: `EMAIL` for an email sender; `LINKEDIN_INVITE` and `LINKEDIN_MESSAGE` for a LinkedIn sender.

    - `EMAIL?: Email`

      Email steps. Present only on an email sender.

      - `dailyLimit: number`

        Most sends of this step type in any rolling 24 hours.

      - `maxGapSeconds: number | null`

        Upper bound of the minimum spacing, in seconds. Before each send, a minimum spacing is drawn at random between `minGapSeconds` and this value, and the send waits until that long after the previous one. Sends can be further apart, for example outside the send window or once `dailyLimit` is reached. Null means the minimum spacing is always `minGapSeconds`.

      - `minGapSeconds: number`

        Lower bound of the minimum spacing between two of its sends, in seconds.

    - `LINKEDIN_INVITE?: LinkedinInvite`

      LinkedIn connection requests. Present only on a LinkedIn sender.

      - `dailyLimit: number`

        Most sends of this step type in any rolling 24 hours.

      - `maxGapSeconds: number | null`

        Upper bound of the minimum spacing, in seconds. Before each send, a minimum spacing is drawn at random between `minGapSeconds` and this value, and the send waits until that long after the previous one. Sends can be further apart, for example outside the send window or once `dailyLimit` is reached. Null means the minimum spacing is always `minGapSeconds`.

      - `minGapSeconds: number`

        Lower bound of the minimum spacing between two of its sends, in seconds.

    - `LINKEDIN_MESSAGE?: LinkedinMessage`

      LinkedIn messages. Present only on a LinkedIn sender.

      - `dailyLimit: number`

        Most sends of this step type in any rolling 24 hours.

      - `maxGapSeconds: number | null`

        Upper bound of the minimum spacing, in seconds. Before each send, a minimum spacing is drawn at random between `minGapSeconds` and this value, and the send waits until that long after the previous one. Sends can be further apart, for example outside the send window or once `dailyLimit` is reached. Null means the minimum spacing is always `minGapSeconds`.

      - `minGapSeconds: number`

        Lower bound of the minimum spacing between two of its sends, in seconds.

  - `replyToAddress: string | null`

    SMTP senders only: the connected mailbox replies are sent to and read from. Null for other senders.

  - `transport: "SMTP" | "OAUTH" | null`

    How an email sender sends: `SMTP` through its own mail server, `OAUTH` through its connected Google or Microsoft account. Null for LinkedIn senders.

    - `"SMTP"`

    - `"OAUTH"`
