# Channel​Update​Input

input\_object

The input fields for updating a [`Channel`](https://shopify.dev/docs/api/admin-graphql/latest/objects/Channel).

## Fields

* account​Id

  [String](https://shopify.dev/docs/api/admin-graphql/latest/scalars/String)

  An updated identifier for the merchant's account on the external platform. Changing this value signals that the channel connection now represents a different external account.

* account​Name

  [String](https://shopify.dev/docs/api/admin-graphql/latest/scalars/String)

  An updated merchant-facing name for the external account. Displayed in Shopify Admin when multiple channels exist for the same app, to help merchants distinguish between connections.

* handle

  [String](https://shopify.dev/docs/api/admin-graphql/latest/scalars/String)

  A new unique identifier for the channel within the shop. Must be unique across all channels on the shop. Handles are typically set at creation and rarely changed — use when correcting a handle or migrating legacy channel records.

* specification​Handle

  [String](https://shopify.dev/docs/api/admin-graphql/latest/scalars/String)

  The handle of the [channel specification](https://shopify.dev/docs/apps/build/sales-channels/channel-config-extension) to bind to this channel. When changed, the platform re-evaluates the specification's country coverage against the shop's region markets and reconciles product feeds accordingly.
