# Update Conversation

`PATCH /v1/conversations/{conversation_id}`

Update a conversation.

- `metadata`: store custom context for AI agents (customer info, order/ticket
  ids, session state). Replaces the stored object; surfaced in webhook
  payloads as `conversationState`.
- `group_name`: rename a group conversation (iMessage groups only). Also
  renames the underlying iMessage thread.

Only the fields you include are changed: a rename-only PATCH leaves metadata
untouched, and vice versa.

## Path parameters

- `conversation_id` string, required

## Request body

- UpdateConversationRequest — Request body for updating a conversation.
  - `metadata` object, nullable
  - `group_name` string, nullable — New display name for a group conversation. iMessage groups only; also renames the underlying iMessage thread. Ignored (omit) for 1:1 chats.
