Update order

A PUT request to the /orders endpoint allows you to update the order details for the orderUuid specified in the request url. It uses the same format as the Create orders endpoint, so you can reference that page for accepted fields.

Request URL

put https://api.plan.routific.com/v2/orders/{orderUuid}

❗️
This is a PUT request
Make sure to include everything in the body because if you don't any previous values assigned to a field will be reset to NULL.
For example, if you've previously assigned a phone number to the order upon creation, and during this update request if you haven't included the phone number field with its original value, then the original value for the field will be cleared.

Sample Response Payload

202 Response code is returned when any updates are made to an order.

{
    "actionUuid": "d25490a5-5699-4445-bc36-1ac9e67d1263",
    "actionName": "update",
    "status": "pending"
}

This is an asynchronous operation, and the edit is not applied till the action reports finished

📘
Check the status of an asynchronous action
With a 202 response code, use the returned actionUuid to poll for the outcome. See Fetch order action status for the request format and response fields.

The response payload can include the following fields:

Field	Type	Description
actionName	String	The action being performed. Always `update` for this endpoint.
actionUuid	String	Identifier for the asynchronous action. Returned on `202` only, use it to poll for the outcome. Not returned on `200`, where the update is already applied and there is nothing to poll.
status	String	Status of the action. Returns `finished` on a `200` and`pending` on a `202`.
