title: webhookSubscriptionUpdate - GraphQL Admin
description: >-
  Updates a webhook subscription's configuration. Modify the endpoint URL, event

  filters, included fields, or metafield namespaces without recreating the
  subscription.


  The mutation accepts a
  [`WebhookSubscriptionInput`](https://shopify.dev/docs/api/admin-graphql/latest/input-objects/WebhookSubscriptionInput)

  that specifies the new configuration. You can switch between endpoint types

  (HTTP, Pub/Sub, EventBridge) by providing a different URI format. Updates

  apply atomically without interrupting webhook delivery.



  Building an app? If you only use app-specific webhooks, you won't need this.

  App-specific webhook subscriptions specified in your `shopify.app.toml` may be

  easier. They are automatically kept up to date by Shopify & require less

  maintenance. Please read [About managing webhook

  subscriptions](https://shopify.dev/docs/apps/build/webhooks/subscribe).
