Edit queued message

Changed on

<Info>This API is in beta. Endpoints, fields, and behavior may still change, so avoid depending on it in production.</Info>

Replaces the text of a queued message before it runs. Its place in the queue doesn't change.

Only the person who queued a message can edit it, because it runs as them.

Once a message starts running it leaves the queue, so it can no longer be edited.

A collaborator in the editor can send a queued message into the turn that's running. While that's happening the message can't be changed or removed.

This is limited to 60 requests per minute per app for each workspace's personal API keys, so every key in a workspace shares one allowance. Every endpoint that changes the queue shares it. Some workspaces have a different limit.

<Note>This endpoint accepts a personal API key belonging to a user with editor access to the app. A read-only key is refused, and workspace API keys are not accepted.</Note>

<Warning>The response includes fields beyond the ones documented here. Don't rely on undocumented response fields, as they can change at any time.</Warning>
