Update a Persona

Updates a Persona. Send the base_revision you read. Omit a section or an age bound to keep it. Send null to clear it. AdCrunch checks the age range on the result of the merge. Therefore a call that sends only age_min can still fail, if the result is inverted. The answer is 409 with error=revision_mismatch if the Persona changed after you read it. It is 409 with error=slug_conflict if the new name gives a slug that already exists.

PATCH/context/brands/{slug}/personas/{personaSlug}

Authorization

AuthorizationBearer token · headerrequired

Send Authorization: Bearer <credential>. Two credentials work.

An API key (acr_…) is what a server integration uses. Create one in the AdCrunch console under Settings → API keys — see https://docs.adcrunch.dev/account/api-keys. A key is bound to the organization that was active when you created it, and it keeps acting on that organization whatever you do later. It carries the permissions of the member who created it.

A session issued by the AdCrunch sign-in flow also works, which is how the console calls this service from the browser.

Either way the organization comes from the credential. There is no organization parameter.

Responses

200

The Persona as it now stands.

createdAtnumberrequired

Milliseconds since the Unix epoch, UTC.

createdBystringrequired

descriptionstringrequired

frictionsstring | nullrequired

Objections, doubts, what stops them.

idstringrequired

motivationsstring | nullrequired

What they want, and what triggers them.

namestringrequired
