set_watch_defaults

Set Watchlist Defaults

Changes or deletes something you own.

Use this to change the trigger set every future watch starts with. Use update_watch instead for one event already watched. Change the defaults a newly starred event inherits. THIS IS ACCOUNT WIDE: it changes every future watch the person makes, not one event, so say so before you call it and read get_watch_defaults first to see what is there. Events already on the watchlist are left exactly as they are; use update_watch for one of those. Only the fields you pass change, and inside triggers only the trigger keys you name change. list_watch_triggers is the catalog of keys and ranges. A threshold outside its range is refused, never clamped: the error names the field and its min and max, and the saved defaults are left as they were.

Parameters

NameTypeRequiredDefaultNotes

notification_modestringHow a new watch delivers by default. One of instant, digest, muted.
destination_idsstring[]Destinations a new watch delivers to by default, from list_destinations. An empty array clears them.
