# Update donor portal notification preferences

> Requires a valid donor session and client-owned program or none context. Saves catalog category/event overrides atomically with channel choices. Valid email categories are returned by GET; email event changes are mirrored to donor records sharing the address. Account access cannot be disabled individually. sms_opt_out=true opts matching records out; false does not grant SMS consent. restore_all_email clears stored email opt-outs and event overrides while donor/form master suppression remains unless do_not_email is separately cleared. Postal changes apply to every matching donor.

    RequestRejection:
      description: >-
        Request or workflow rejection. Framework field-validation failures
        contain errors; semantic rejections may contain message without errors;
        legacy/provider failures may use error and error_code. The operation
        description identifies the rejected condition. Domain responses may add
        current revision, limits or other conflict context.

      description: >-
        Returned with HTTP 422 when `Validator::make($data, $rules)` fails. The
        `errors` map is keyed by the failing field name; each value is an array
        of human-readable error messages for that field. Most controllers also
        include a top-level `status: error`.

        - errors
      properties:
        errors:
          description: >-
            Map of field name to array of validator error messages. Example:

    ErrorResponse:
      title: ErrorResponse
      description: >-
        Generic error envelope used by most controllers. Most error responses
        pair a human-readable `message` with `status: error`. Some endpoints
        additionally include `errors` (validator errors), `error` (legacy
        single-error string), `code`, or domain-specific context fields.
      required:
        - message
