# Update Inbox

::::callout{intent="warning"}
Inboxes are currently in private beta and only available to a limited
number of users. The response shape might change before GA.

[Get early access](https://resend.com/help?type=report\&message=I+would+like+early+access+to+Inboxes.\&priority=low) if you're interested in testing this feature.

Once you have access, upgrade your Resend SDK to use the new methods:

:::code-group
```bash Node.js
npm install resend@6.28.1-preview-inboxes.2
```

```bash CLI
npm install -g resend-cli@2.22.0-preview-inboxes.2
```
:::
::::

At least one of `name` or `friendly_name` is required.

## Path Parameters

The Inbox ID.

## Body Parameters

- `name` (string) — New internal name for the inbox. Recipients do not see it.

The name recipients see when mail is sent from this inbox. A plain name, not
a `Name <email>` address.

:::code-group
```ts Node.js
import { Resend } from 'resend';

const resend = new Resend('re_xxxxxxxxx');

const { data, error } = await resend.inboxes.update(
  'b3e2b2b6-3f0e-4c8e-9ad3-2f43a1e2c7f1',
  { name: 'Customer Support', friendlyName: 'Ada from Support' },
);
```

curl -X PATCH 'https://api.resend.com/inboxes/b3e2b2b6-3f0e-4c8e-9ad3-2f43a1e2c7f1' \

     -d $'{
  "name": "Customer Support",
  "friendly_name": "Ada from Support"
}'
```
