Update setting

Update the value of a setting by passing the settings unique _id

URL Requires Auth HTTP Method
/api/v1/settings/:_id YES POST

The _id of a setting is the first argument of the RocketChat.settings.add method used in Rocket.Chat/packages/rocketchat-lib/server/startup/settings.js (among other files). For example, the following code in that settings.js file

this.add('Accounts_AllowAnonymousRead', false, {
    type: 'boolean',
    public: true
  });

means that the setting labeled "Allow anonymous read" in the section "Accounts" has _id equal to 'Accounts_AllowAnonymousRead'. The second argument is the default value (false). The third argument specifies the variable's type and whether it is public, hidden, and so on. To set a color, you can send

{
  value: '<color-code>',
  editor: 'color'
}

And also to trigger a action-button use:

{
  execute: true
}

Payload

Argument Example Required Description
_id Livechat_enabled Required The setting's _id field
value true Required The value to update the setting.
color <color-code> Optional The color code to update the setting.
