A note’s new title is indexed again, as its text is. A file’s title cannot change while it is processing (document_not_ready). A website’s title is its address and cannot change. With also=copies, its copies at other locations change too, and a rename is refused the same way (document_not_ready) while a copy’s file is processing. Any other field is refused (invalid_parameter). A request that changes nothing sends no document.updated. Requires knowledge:write. Limited to 120 requests per minute per account (API key) or per installation (OAuth), and to 60 document writes per minute, shared by creating, replacing and updating documents and discovering a site’s pages.

2026-10-01Serve this one request at the given dated contract version instead of the credential’s pin. An unsupported value is refused with 400 unsupported_version, never downgraded.
Unique key for this logical write. Reuse it only when retrying the same method, path, query and body. Required on appointment writes, on creating a service, a resource, a closure, a tag, a caller rule or a document, and on teaching the assistant; optional on every other write. Retained for 24 hours: a retry with the same key gets the first response again, marked Idempotency-Replayed: true, and a refusal that holds until the state changes (a time taken, a list full) is replayed too. A response a retry can change is not kept when the request saved nothing, and the retry runs the request again: a 400 asking for a different request (invalid_parameter, invalid_cursor, export_too_large, unknown_scenario, no_services_requested, stay_too_short, stay_too_long, stay_dates_invalid), a 415, a 409 request_conflict, document_not_ready or check_in_progress, a 412, a 429 and a 5xx.
Example
faq-parking-offRequest Bodyrequired
Section titled “Request Bodyrequired”A partial edit of a document: its title, or whether the assistant uses it.
object
Its new title. Not for a website, whose title is its address. A note’s new title is indexed again, as a change of its text is.
Switch it off (false) or on again (true). Cannot be null.
Example
{ "enabled": false}Responses
Section titled “ Responses ”Successful Response
A document of the knowledge base the assistant answers callers from: a text note, an uploaded file or an imported website, at one location. Its copies at other locations are documents of their own, sharing copy_group_id. It is used once status is ready; a document whose content is replaced answers with its previous content until then.
object
Document identifier.
The location whose assistant uses it (GET /v1/locations). Never null, and it never changes.
The note’s title, the uploaded file’s name, or the imported site’s address.
text for a note written as text, file for an uploaded file, website for pages imported from a site.
The content type: text/markdown for a note, the file’s type for a file, text/html for a website.
What it counts against the account’s knowledge storage: the note’s text, the file as uploaded, or the text extracted from the site. 0 for an upload that failed holding nothing.
How many passages its content is searched as. While it is processing, the count of the content it still answers with; for a new document, 0 until its content has been read. A new copy may show its count from the start.
True when the uploaded file is kept and GET /v1/documents/{document_id}/file returns it: shortly after the file is first ready, later for a copy at another location. False for a note, a website, a file whose first upload is not ready yet or failed, and a file Talki did not keep. A file being replaced keeps its previous file until the new one has been read, then has none until shortly after the new version is ready.
processing while its latest content is being read and indexed, ready once the assistant uses it, failed when its latest content could not be indexed (status_error says why). A document that was ready before keeps answering with its previous content while processing and after failed.
False when it is switched off: kept, but the assistant does not use it until it is switched on again.
True for the location’s FAQ note, which the answers taught with POST /v1/unresolved_requests/{request_id}/teach are added to. A location has one at most.
RFC 3339 UTC.
When its title or content was last written, RFC 3339 UTC: a note’s text or title when it is saved, a file’s title when it is renamed, and a replaced file’s or a website’s new content, a dropped page included, when it is ready. Sending the same text, file or pages again counts as a write; switching it on or off does not.
