What this endpoint does

Updates a Playbook Alert's common properties — status, priority, assignee, and reopen behavior — or appends a log message (up to 5,000 characters). All update fields are optional; include only the properties you want to change. When resolving or dismissing an alert, you can also record remediation actions taken using added_actions_taken with action IDs from the Playbook Alerts: Metadata endpoint (this field is only accepted when setting status to Dismissed or Resolved). To assign alerts, obtain valid assignee IDs from the Playbook Alerts: Available Assignees endpoint. The reopen parameter controls whether a dismissed/resolved alert should automatically reopen on significant updates.

Response data

The response contains only a status confirmation (Ok or Error) with a message. No alert data is returned — to verify the update was applied, call the Playbook Alerts: Preview endpoint or the appropriate category-specific Detail endpoint.
