OpenSend docs

Update Topic

Update mutable subscription topic fields.

Raw markdown

PATCH /topics/{id}

Compatibility behavior:

  • /topics/{id} is the compatibility alias handled by middleware rewrite to /api/topics/{id}.
  • In compatibility mode, provided enum fields are validated strictly:
  • default_subscription (or defaultSubscription): opt_in | opt_out
  • visibility: public | private
  • name and description remain optional for partial updates.
  • PATCH /api/topics/{id} remains legacy compatible for existing OpenSend integrations.

Note: compatibility updates are partial and strict on provided enum fields only.

Authentication

Use an OpenSend API key in the Authorization header.

http
Authorization: Bearer os_YOUR_API_KEY

Dashboard session cookies are not API credentials.

Parameters

Existing contact preferences remain attached to the topic.

Response

Returns an OpenSend JSON response for the authenticated tenant. Error responses use OpenSend error envelopes and standard HTTP status codes.

Self-hosting notes

Self-hosted deployments can use the same path on their own OPENSEND_BASE_URL. Ensure middleware is enabled so API-like requests are routed to /api/topics/{id} while dashboard page requests continue to render normally.
