Rename a group with Node.js continued

Update a group name

Say the group has evolved and needs a better name to describe it. Let's give your group of contacts a different name.

To update the name of the group, create an additional file in the project called updateGroup.mdx.

Update a group name

import fetch from 'node-fetch';

async function run() {
  const servicePlanId = 'YOUR_service_plan_id';
  const groupId = 'YOUR_group_id';
  const resp = await fetch(
    `https://us.sms.api.sinch.com/xms/v1/${servicePlanId}/groups/${groupId}`,
    {
      method: 'POST',
      headers: {
        'Content-Type': 'application/json',
        Authorization: 'Bearer YOUR_API_token'
      },
      body: JSON.stringify({name: 'YOUR_new_group_name'})
    }
  );

  const data = await resp.json();
  console.log(data);
}

run();

Paste the code in the "Update a group name" sample.
Fill in the name parameter with the new name of your group.

Note:

Notice that we are using a different endpoint to update the group. For more update options, see our various code samples in the API reference.
