# Update a persona

# Step 5: update a persona

The relationship between a person and an account is represented by a **persona**.

You can update a persona's email address, employee number, work phone number, job title, status, transaction email preference, and card transaction push notification preference.

<Info>
  You can also update their role using a separate endpoint. We'll be doing that in the next step.

In this example, we're only updating our persona's email address and job title. Note that the `accountId` is a required parameter but everything else is optional.

<CodeGroup>
  ```bash Sandbox theme={null}
  curl -i -X PATCH \
    'https://api-sandbox.equalsmoney.com/v2/personas/{personaId}?accountId={accountId}' \
    -H 'Authorization: ApiKey {apiKey}' \
    -H 'Content-Type: application/json' \
    -d '{
      "employeeNumber": "321",
      "jobTitle": "Human Division Manager"
    }'
  ```

  ```bash Production theme={null}
  curl -i -X PATCH \
    'https://api.equalsmoney.com/v2/personas/{personaId}?accountId={accountId}' \
    -H 'Authorization: ApiKey {apiKey}' \
    -H 'Content-Type: application/json' \
    -d '{
      "employeeNumber": "321",
      "jobTitle": "Human Division Manager"
    }'
  ```
</CodeGroup>

If your request is successful, you'll receive a `200` response containing the persona's updated details.

```json theme={null}
