# Update Segment

> Update a saved subscriber segment

Update a segment name or filter definition. You can send either legacy `filters` or a nested `root`, not both.

## Request

<ParamField path="segmentId" type="string" required>
  Segment ID.
</ParamField>

<ParamField body="name" type="string">
  New segment name.
</ParamField>

<ParamField body="filters" type="FilterLeaf[]">
  Legacy v1 filter array.
</ParamField>

<ParamField body="filterJoinOperator" type="string">
  `and` or `or` for legacy v1 filters.
</ParamField>

<ParamField body="root" type="FilterGroup">
  Nested v2 filter group for nested logic, event filters, or segment filters.
</ParamField>

Stripe trial subfilters stay under `field: "stripeTrialProduct"`:
`prod_123:is_canceled`, `prod_123:end_at:2026-05-26`, or
`prod_123:start_at:7 days ago`.

Every filter field validates its own operator set:

* `status`, `segment`: `is`, `is_not`
* `tag`: `contains`, `not_contains`, `is_empty`, `is_not_empty`
* `email`: `contains`, `not_contains`
* `emailProvider`, `list`: `is`, `is_not`, `is_empty`, `is_not_empty`
* `firstName`, `lastName`: `contains`, `not_contains`, `is_empty`, `is_not_empty`
* `added`: `less_than`, `more_than`
* `attribute`: equality, empty checks, numeric/date comparisons, and contains checks
* `event`, email engagement fields: `is`, `is_not`, `at_least`, `less_than_count`
* `emailBounced`: also supports `is_temporary_bounce`, `is_permanent_bounce`
* Stripe product fields: product-specific purchase/current/trial/date operators
