Update organization variable

Required scopes:

• organization-variables:write

Updates custom organization variable with the specified variable name. Only parameters specified in the request body are updated.

You can check the availability of the custom variables feature with the API call GET /organizations/{organizationId}. If the response contains "customVariables": true pair in the license object then you have access to the custom variables feature.

A successful response contains all information about the updated variable. If you don't have the custom variables feature available then the API call returns the error 404.

Refer to the Make pricing page for the Make pricing plans overview.

Update the variable typeId accordingly when you are updating the variable value. Make checks whether the variable type and value match in the request body. There is no check for incorrect variable type when you update only variable value and vice versa.
