# Update article automation settings

`PATCH /v3/settings/article-automation/`

Update the team's article automation settings. All fields optional; only provided fields change. Toggle automation on/off, set postingFrequency (e.g. daily/weekly), preferredPostingTime (a named window - past-midnight/morning/afternoon/evening/night - or an exact 24h "HH:MM"), timeZone (IANA zone, e.g. "Asia/Kolkata", that posting times resolve against), preferredTopicIds, preferredArticleTypes, content length (short/medium/long), CMS target, image styles, and auto-update rules.

## Request body

- object
  - `teamId` string

  - `preferredTopicIds` string[]
  - `preferredArticleTypes` string[]
  - `preferredContentLength` 'short' | 'medium' | 'long'
  - `preferredCMSProvider` string, nullable
  - `writingLanguage` string, nullable — Language code articles are written in (e.g. 'es'). Usually two letters; Chinese is 'zh_CN'/'zh_TW' and Hebrew is 'iw'. Null clears it back to inheriting the brand language. Applies to articles only - keyword research, SERP data and AI-visibility tracking stay on the brand language.
