## Mutations with this payload

* [channel​Update](https://shopify.dev/docs/api/admin-graphql/latest/mutations/channelUpdate)

  mutation

  Updates the properties of an existing [`Channel`](https://shopify.dev/docs/api/admin-graphql/latest/objects/Channel). Use this mutation to update account information — such as the display name shown in Shopify Admin — or to bind the channel to a different channel specification.

  Updating the `specificationHandle` triggers re-evaluation of the specification's country coverage against the shop's region markets, reconciling product feeds accordingly. This is also the mechanism for migrating legacy channel records to the multi-channel model by assigning a specification handle.

  * id

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

    required

    ### Arguments

    The ID of the [`Channel`](https://shopify.dev/docs/api/admin-graphql/latest/objects/Channel) to update.

  * input

    [Channel​Update​Input!](https://shopify.dev/docs/api/admin-graphql/latest/input-objects/ChannelUpdateInput)

    required

    The input fields for updating the channel.
