# `bird whatsapp agents faqs update`

## Usage

```bash
bird whatsapp agents faqs update <number-id> <faq-id> [flags]
```

## Description

Update one of an agent's questions and answers

Change one question and answer the agent on this WhatsApp number holds. Omitted fields are left alone, and the change reaches WhatsApp before this returns.

Build the request from flags, a JSON WhatsAppAgentFAQUpdate body via --body-file ("-" reads
stdin), or both — a flag overrides the matching body field. Run --example to
print a ready-to-edit body, or --dry-run to print the resolved request without
sending it.

## Examples

```bash
# print the body shape (no credentials needed)
bird whatsapp agents faqs update --example

# the body it prints:
```

```json
{
  "answer": "Orders placed before 15:00 on a working day arrive the next working day in the Netherlands and Belgium."
}
```
