> API Reference / Functions / Update a trigger

## PATCH /projects/{project_id}/branches/{branch_id}/triggers/{trigger_id}

Applies a partial update. The required `type` discriminator must identify
the existing trigger kind. The supported types are `schedule` and
`storage_object_created`. Editing an inherited trigger creates a
child-local shadow with the same `trigger_id`; it remains disabled unless
this request explicitly enables it. For a schedule trigger, updating the
schedule or enabled state increments `version` and recomputes
`next_run_at`.

Disabling stops future scheduling but does not cancel occurrences already
committed for delivery. For `storage_object_created`, the configuration
selects one exact bucket. An omitted object-key prefix matches every key
in that bucket; a present prefix is matched byte-for-byte and
case-sensitively against the full key, without path normalization or a
path-segment boundary.

**Note**: This endpoint is currently in Beta.


### Parameters

- `project_id` (string, path, required)
  The Neon project ID
- `branch_id` (string, path, required)
  The Neon branch ID
- `trigger_id` (string, path, required)
  The opaque, project-wide trigger ID

### Request body

- `type` (string, required)
  Trigger type discriminator; it does not change the trigger type.
  Possible values: `schedule`
- `function_slug` (string, optional)
  Replacement branch-local Function slug.
- `name` (string, optional)
- `function_path` (string, optional)
- `schedule` (object, optional)
  A numeric five-field cron schedule interpreted in UTC.
  - `cron` (string, required)
    Numeric five-field cron expression (minute through day-of-week), interpreted in UTC.
- `enabled` (boolean, optional)
  True enables and false disables future scheduling.

### Response (200)

- `trigger` (object, optional)
  A branch-effective trigger discriminated by `type`. The supported trigger
  types are `schedule` and `storage_object_created`.
  

### Code examples

```bash
curl "https://console.neon.tech/api/v2/projects/$PROJECT_ID/branches/$BRANCH_ID/triggers/$TRIGGER_ID" \
  -X PATCH \
  -H "Authorization: Bearer $NEON_API_KEY"
```

```typescript
import { createNeonClient, raw } from '@neon/sdk';

const neon = createNeonClient({ apiKey: process.env.NEON_API_KEY });
const { data } = await raw.updateProjectBranchTrigger({
  client: neon.client,
  path: {
    project_id: process.env.PROJECT_ID,
    branch_id: process.env.BRANCH_ID,
    trigger_id: process.env.TRIGGER_ID
  }
});
```

### Errors

**default**
General Error.

The request may or may not be safe to retry, depending on the HTTP method, response status code,
and whether a response was received.

- If no response is returned from the API, a network error or timeout likely occurred.
- In some cases, the request may have reached the server and been successfully processed, but the response failed to reach the client. As a result, retrying non-idempotent requests can lead to unintended results.

The following HTTP methods are considered non-idempotent: `POST`, `PATCH`, `DELETE`, and `PUT`. Retrying these methods is generally **not safe**.
The following methods are considered idempotent: `GET`, `HEAD`, and `OPTIONS`. Retrying these methods is **safe** in the event of a network error or timeout.

Any request that returns a `503 Service Unavailable` response is always safe to retry.

Any request that returns a `423 Locked` response is safe to retry. `423 Locked` indicates that the resource is temporarily locked, for example, due to another operation in progress.

- `request_id` (string, optional)
  Unique identifier for the request, useful for debugging.
  You can set this value manually by including an `X-Request-ID` header in the request. If not provided, the value will be generated automatically.
  
- `code` (string, required)
  Machine-readable code classifying the error type. See `message` for a human-readable explanation.
  Default: ``
- `message` (string, required)
  Error message
