Update a segment

Rename it, or change its rules or match. Rules replace the old ones. Each rule has a field (email, first_name, last_name, status, created_at, property with a key, or topic with a topic_id), an op and usually a value. Text operators: equals, not_equals, contains, not_contains, starts_with, ends_with, is_set, is_not_set (case-insensitive). Number properties also take gt, gte, lt, lte. status is subscribed or unsubscribed. created_at takes before or after with a date, or within_days or older_than_days with a number. topic takes subscribed or not_subscribed. match is all (every rule) or any (at least one). Up to 10 rules.

Required scope: contacts:manage

Parameters

Request body

Unknown fields are rejected, so a typo never silently does nothing.
