​
Overview

Use this API to update an existing Subscription’s properties. This API can be useful if:
  • You only know the token and token_type and want to update metadata or status flags directly.
  • You are managing Subscription status outside of the OneSignal SDK. Like with a custom preference page or unsubscribe page.

​
How to use this API

To update a Subscription, you must know the token_type and the token. The token_type is the Subscription’s type (e.g., Email, SMS, iOSPush, AndroidPush, etc.). The token is the push token, email address, or phone number associated with the Subscription. Ensure the token is valid and correctly formatted for the chosen token_type.
  • Email format: Should be a valid email address that you confirmed can receive emails.
  • SMS format: Phone number must be in E.164 format.
  • iOSPush APNS token format: 64 characters, hexadecimal characters only (0-9,a-f).
  • AndroidPush FCM token format: Typically 163 characters, alphanumeric characters, may contain hyphens, colons and underscore.
You cannot update the token_type and token of a Subscription with this API. If the token_type is incorrect:
  1. Use Delete Subscription to remove the incorrect entry.
  2. Use Create Subscription by alias to recreate the subscription with the correct type.
If multiple Subscriptions are found for the token and token_type, an Http 400 error is returned with a list of subscription IDs that match the criteria.
