| ------------- | ------ | ----------------------------------------------------------- |

See [API Basics](/docs/api) for required headers.

### Body
| Field          | Type    | Required | Description                                    |
| -------------- | ------- | -------- | ---------------------------------------------- |
| `componentIds` | uuid\[] | Yes      | Component IDs on the dashboard                 |
| `verify`       | boolean | No       | Set to `true` to activate a pending subscriber |

There is no admin-managed (`locked`) flag for SMS — that concept applies only to [email update](/docs/api/subscriptions/email/subscribers/update).

### Behavior
| Subscriber status | `verify`           | `componentIds`     | Result                                                              |
| ----------------- | ------------------ | ------------------ | ------------------------------------------------------------------- |
| Verified          | omitted or `false` | Any (may be empty) | Update selections; empty array stops notifications (`paused: true`) |
| Verified          | `true`             | —                  | `400` — already verified                                            |
| Pending           | `true`             | At least one       | Admin-verify; no verification text sent                             |
| Pending           | omitted or `false` | —                  | `400` — set `verify` to `true`                                      |

Pending subscribers already count toward quota while pending; verifying does not consume an additional slot.
