# Update Automation

> Update an existing automation.

> [!NOTE]
>
> Provide at least one of `name`, `status`, or both `steps` and `connections`.
> When updating the workflow graph, `steps` and `connections` must be sent
> together.

## Path Parameters

The automation ID.

## Body Parameters

**name** `string`

The name of the automation.

**status** `string`

The status of the automation. Possible values are `enabled` or `disabled`.

**steps** `Step[]`

The steps that compose the automation graph. Must be provided together with
`connections`. The graph of an `enabled` automation cannot be updated: disable
the automation first, or duplicate it and edit the copy. See [Step
Properties](/docs/dashboard/automations/steps#step-properties) for full object
definition.

**connections** `Connection[]`

The connections between steps in the automation graph. Must be provided
together with `steps`. See [Connection
Properties](/docs/dashboard/automations/connections#connection-properties) for full
object definition.
