# Rename or archive a list

`PATCH /v1/lists/{id}`

## Request

- Base URL: `https://api.automatedclientacquisition.com`
- URL: `https://api.automatedclientacquisition.com/v1/lists/{id}`
- Auth: HTTP bearer

Lists cannot be deleted over the API — archiving is the supported way to
retire one, since deletion would silently drop membership history that
sequences and reporting still reference. `DELETE /v1/lists/{id}` returns
`405` and says so.

## Request body

- object
  - `name` string
  - `description` string
  - `status` 'active' | 'archived'

## Response `200`

The updated list.

- object
  - `success` boolean
  - `data` LeadList
    - `id` string, uuid
    - `name` string
    - `description` string, nullable
    - `source_type` string
    - `status` 'active' | 'archived'
    - `lead_count` integer: Cached member count, restated after every bulk membership change.
    - `is_smart` boolean, nullable
    - `created_at` string, date-time
    - `updated_at` string, date-time, nullable

## Other responses

- `400`: Malformed or invalid body. Do not retry — it will fail identically.
- `401`: Missing, invalid or revoked token.
- `404`: No such resource in your organization. Returned rather than `403` when the resource exists under a different tenant — cross-tenant existence is not disclosed.
