Correspondent → Update a Correspondent
AI-generatedSummary
Update a Paperless-ngx correspondent by ID, changing its name, matching algorithm, and/or matching expression.
Inputs
- ID (required) — Select a correspondent from the list or enter its positive integer ID.
- Update Fields — Set any fields to update: Name; Matching Algorithm (defaults to Auto: Learn matching automatically, with options to disable matching or match by any/all words, exact string, regular expression, or fuzzy word); and Matching Expression, the text or expression used for matching.
Output shape
A single correspondent record returned by the update request.
The source pack contains only a signature-level view of the implementation, so the returned record shape is inferred from the update operation’s declared behavior and its API request context.
