# Update a Discord scheduled event

`PATCH /v1/discord/guilds/{guildId}/events/{eventId}`

Patch any subset of fields. Passing `status: 'cancelled'` is how you
cancel an event — Discord doesn't have a dedicated cancel endpoint,
it's a status transition.

Most status transitions Discord enforces (you can't go SCHEDULED →
COMPLETED directly). The common consumer case is SCHEDULED → CANCELED.

## Path parameters

- `guildId` string, required
- `eventId` string, required

## Request body

- object
  - `accountId` string, required
  - `name` string
  - `description` string
  - `startsAt` string, date-time
  - `endsAt` string, date-time
  - `location` string — For external events.
  - `status` 'scheduled' | 'active' | 'completed' | 'cancelled' — Status transition. Most common: 'cancelled' to cancel an event.
  - `imageDataUri` string

## Response `200`
