  • Channel (required) — Select a channel from the list, or specify a Channel ID or unique name using an expression.
  • Update Fields — Configuration options for channel behavior including reply mode, notifications, and meeting chat type.
  • Image Data (Base64) — Optional base64-encoded image content for the channel display picture.
  • Name — Optional new channel display name. Maximum length is 50 characters.
  • Description — Optional new channel description. Maximum length is 10500 characters.

  • Simplify Mode — Controls output format: simplified, raw, or selected fields.
  • Simplify Fields — Specific fields to include in the output when Simplify Mode is set to Selected Fields.
  • Config JSON — Optional raw config object for complex or AI Tool setups.

Output shape

One output item per input item containing the updated channel data.

The 'Name' parameter updates only the display name, not the unique channel name. When 'Simplify' is enabled, the response is unwrapped so each record is its own item. The record ID is always included in the output.

Examples

Channel: Marketing Team (list select), Name: 'Marketing Team Update', Description: 'New team description'.

Example 2: Update channel configuration settings using structured fields.

Channel: C123456, Config Input Mode: Using Fields Below, Reply Mode: Both, Add/Remove Notifications: Enable.

Example 3: Update channel settings and return raw API response.
