# PUT /messaging/v1/email/seed-list-account

## Overview

Update account data for a seed-list. The MID is used from authentication. This method returns the partner list and auto-seed options that are in place for the MID as a result of this transaction. The value for `autoSeedThreshold` is a positive integer between `1`, and `2147483647` (Integer32.Max_Value, or hex 0x7FFFFFFF).

The payload is shortened when setting the `autoSeedEnabled` setting to `false`

## JSON Parameters

JSON Parameters when setting `autoSeedEnabled` to `true`:

| **Name**          | **Type** |     | **Description**                                                                      |
| ----------------- | -------- | -------- | ------------------------------------------------------------------------------------ |
| autoSeedListId    | string   | Required | A globally unique identifier (GUID).                                                 |
| autoSeedThreshold | integer  | &nbsp;   | The threshold for auto-seeding: >= 1 and \<= `2147483647`. Default value is `10000`. |
| autoSeedEnabled   | boolean  | Required | A true or false value indicating whether auto-seed is enabled.                       |

JSON Parameters when setting `autoSeedEnabled` to `false`:

| **Name**        | **Type** | &nbsp;   | **Description**                        |
| --------------- | -------- | -------- | -------------------------------------- |
| autoSeedEnabled | boolean  | Required | A false value to disable auto-seeding. |

## Response

| **Status** | **Name**          | **Type** | &nbsp;   | **Description**                                                                      |

| 200        | &nbsp;            | &nbsp;   | &nbsp;   | Successful update of account data, in this instance, to enable auto-seeding.         |
| &nbsp;     | autoSeedListId    | string   | Required | A globally unique identifier (GUID).                                                 |
| &nbsp;     | autoSeedThreshold | integer  | &nbsp;   | The threshold for auto-seeding: >= 1 and \<= `2147483647`. Default value is `10000`. |
| &nbsp;     | autoSeedEnabled   | boolean  | Required | A true or false value indicating whether auto-seed is enabled.                       |
| 200        | &nbsp;            | &nbsp;   | &nbsp;   | Successful update of account data, in this case, to disable auto-seeding.            |
| &nbsp;     | autoSeedEnabled   | boolean  | Required | A false value to disable auto-seeding.                                               |

### Validations:

- The value of `autoSeedEnabled` is mandatory. It must have a `true` or a `false` value.
- If `autoSeedEnabled` is true, `autoSeedListId` is a mandatory field & can't be empty, nor a default GUID.
- If `autoSeedThreshold` isn’t explicitly set, `10000` is set as default.
- If `autoSeedEnabled` is false, no other fields must be sent in the input request. In this case, `autoSeedListId` is set to `null`, and `autoSeedThreshold` is set to the default value, `10000`.
- If the partner is disabled but auto-seed has default seed list set to a disabled partner seed-list, this call returns an error.

### Validation Failure Scenarios

## Usage

### Example Requests

Setting `autoSeedEnabled` to `true`, the validation requires explicit setting of parameter `autoSeedListId`. The value of `autoSeedThreshold` must be explicitly set to any value other than the default `10000`:

```json
PUT /messaging/v1/email/seed-list-account
{
   "autoSeedlistId":"f21cec40-0227-4e46-8a0e-a4223c0ec1ea",
   "autoSeedThreshold":1000,
   "autoSeedEnabled":true
}
```

Setting `autoSeedEnabled` to `false`, no other fields must be explicitly set. The value of `autoSeedListId` is set to `null`, and `autoSeedThreshold` is set to the default value, `10000`.

```json
PUT /messaging/v1/email/seed-list-account  (To disable Auto Seeding)
{
   "autoSeedEnabled":false
}
```

### Example Response

```js
200 OK
{
    "isSuccessful": true
}
```
