# Update a connector credential

`PATCH /v3/connectors/{provider}/creds/{id}`

Updates the specified connector credential.

When you make a `PATCH` request, Nylas replaces all data in the nested object with the information
included in your request. For more information, see
[Updating objects](/docs/reference/api/#updating-objects).

## Path parameters

- `provider` 'google' | 'microsoft' | 'imap' | 'icloud' | 'yahoo' | 'ews' | 'virtual-calendar' | 'zoom' | 'nylas', required

## Request body

- object
  - `name` string — The credential name.
  - `credential_data` object — An object that specifies some special information required for the credential. This information is securely encoded and stored, and is _not_ visible to users. For the [Google App Permission flow](/docs/v3/auth/bulk-auth-grants/#google-app-permission-via-nylas), this field must contain the `private_key_id`, `private_key`, and `client_email`. For the [Microsoft App Permission flow](/docs/v3/auth/bulk-auth-grants/#use-a-microsoft-bulk-authentication-grant), this field must contain the Azure `client_id` and `client_secret`. To use the credential to override a connector, this field must contain the `client_id` and `client_secret`.
