Change an alarm
update_alarmDestructiveIdempotent
Changes an alarm the person made: its title, a time alarm's time or days, its look (a feel or kind of background to match, wallpaper words and colours, or a theme), its note, its button link, how it snoozes, who can join, whether it is a surprise, and who is let in or taken off. For an alarm that already exists and that the person made; it does not make new alarms, and on or off alone is a separate switch. Fields left out stay as they are. Riders of a friends alarm are told of a new look, and asked to keep riding or leave after a time change; people taken off lose it from their phone without being told. A public alarm cannot change once anyone has joined it. Returns the alarm and its link.

}Input Schema
| Name | Required | Description | Default |
|---|---|---|---|
| id | Yes | The alarm's id. | |
| date | No | A time alarm's new date, making it a one-off, "2026-11-02". | |
| note | No | A note from the person about the alarm, in their words, shown under its trigger on the alarm's page and in the Daily drop. Up to 500 characters; an empty note clears it. | |
| time | No | A time alarm's new time, 24-hour, "07:15". Its date or days stay unless given. | |
| vibe | No | The feel of the alarm in a few words, and the kind of background and colour if the person named them: "fun poppy anime", "calm", "a simple bell", "hype for a token launch", "ocean waves, purple", "neon and chaotic". LFG picks a sound and a look from its library to match: a live, moving wallpaper when one fits, otherwise a drawn one. Wallpaper words given here replace the look's words; a colour given here makes it a plain gradient in that colour. | |
| brief | No | Adds or changes a quiet brief on a schedule, on an alarm that rings on something else: Rocco gathers on the topic through the day and the brief arrives at this time as a notification and in the Daily Drop, never a ring. null ends it. For a clock alarm, use follow. | |
| reach | No | Who can join: private, friends or public. | |
| sound | No | The shelf of our library closest to the sound they asked for, read for what they mean: lo-fi or study beats is music/chill, "make it a vibe" might be music/chill, music/rnb or music/beats, hype me up is voices/hype_man, yelling at me is voices/drill_sergeant. "own" for one of their own uploads ("my song"). "soundcloud" when they asked for SoundCloud, or no shelf is close: a genre we have no shelf for (k-pop, drum and bass), or an artist or a song by name; put what to look for in song_search, and they play SoundCloud songs and tap one. Leave it out when they said nothing about the sound. A song from Apple Music, or a song or voiceover made for them: leave this out, make the alarm, and say they get it in the alarm's Studio, under its sound, after Arm it. Never say you will make one. The wallpaper follows the song unless one is asked for. | |
| theme | No | A theme or holiday: the alarm gets a song in its moods, a new alarm a title written for it, and a wallpaper dealt for it for variety, one of the theme's pictures, a GIF, a live wallpaper or a gradient. A vibe given as well shapes that ("cozy", "degen"); wallpaper words or a title given are kept. One of: birthday (Birthday), love (Love), night_out (Night out), shopping (Shopping), winter (Winter), christmas (Christmas), hanukkah (Hanukkah), diwali (Diwali), halloween (Halloween), thanksgiving (Thanksgiving), friendsgiving (Friendsgiving), new_years (New Year's Eve). | |
| title | No | New short name for the alarm. Up to 60 characters; it reads best under about 25. | |
| follow | No | A clock alarm only: a topic its ring brings a brief on, "AI news". Rocco reads on it once a day before it rings. An empty string ends it. | |
| surprise | No | For a friends alarm: keep it a surprise. People who join see a curtain instead of its title, picture, sound and note until it rings. Free on every plan. | |
| add_groups | No | For a friends alarm: names of the person's friend groups whose members to let in, "Family". Members get a notification. | |
| add_people | No | People to let in to a friends alarm, added to those already in: usernames of the person's LFG friends, or email addresses. Up to 20 at a time. | |
| gif_search | No | 2 to 5 plain words to search GIFs with, written for this alarm, "solana pump celebration", "sleepy cat monday": used if the look dealt is a GIF, which has no words of its own. Fill it whenever you make an alarm. | |
| look_words | No | Short words of your own for the wallpaper, written for this alarm, "SOL TO THE MOON", "EXAM DAY", "BEACH BY 6": used if the look dealt is a live wallpaper or a gradient, in place of its own words. 2 to 4 words. Unlike wallpaper_words, the look is still dealt. Fill it whenever you make an alarm. | |
| button_link | No | ||
| repeat_days | No | A time alarm's new repeat days, making it repeating, ["sat","sun"]. | |
| song_search | No | With "soundcloud": what to look for there, in their words, "k-pop", "fred again". | |
| upload_name | No | With "own": the name they gave the upload, "my dog picture". Left out, one of theirs is used. | |
| words_color | No | Colour of the words as hex, any colour, "#D7FF00". | |
| hide_trigger | No | Needed with surprise, true or false: whether to also keep back when and why it rings, so people who join only know that it will. A surprise is not made until it is given. | |
| snooze_times | No | How many times it can be snoozed: 3, 10 or unlimited. | |
| remove_people | No | People to take off a friends alarm, by username or email. Anyone among them who already joined loses the alarm from their phone, without being told. | |
| silent_snooze | No | true to snooze without the spoken roast LFG plays by default. | |
| snooze_minutes | No | Minutes each snooze lasts: 5, 10, 15, 30 or 60. | |
| wallpaper_kind | No | Only when they named a kind: a gradient, a live (moving) wallpaper, a gif or meme, or "own" for one of their own uploads ("my wallpaper", "the picture I uploaded"). Left out, LFG deals one of every kind in turn. | |
| send_beacons_to | No | A webhook the person got from the other side (a Discord channel's hook, a Zapier catch hook, their own agent's address): every beacon on this alarm is POSTed there as JSON, signed with the alarm's horn token. Public https only. An empty string stops it. | |
| wallpaper_color | No | Wallpaper background colour as hex, any colour, "#5B2BFF". | |
| wallpaper_words | No | Words drawn on the wallpaper, "WAKE UP"; a line break starts a new line. Up to 40 characters; it looks best as 1 to 4 short words, since the words are drawn as large as the square allows. | |
| people_confirmed | No | Whether the person has confirmed the people and groups being added. Nobody is added or told without it. | |
| follow_every_hours | No | Only when the person asks for it ("check every 4 hours"): how often Rocco reads the brief's sources, in hours, 1 to 23, or 24 to go back to once a day. Leave it out otherwise: once a day, in the hour before the brief, is the default, free and plenty for a brief. Faster is monitoring: it takes a monitoring alarm's place and uses credits, so say so. |
