# Edit live API-triggered broadcasts

Learn how changes to a live API-triggered broadcast impact customers.

### Change the recipient segment(s) in the UI

Your updated segment(s) will be used the next time the broadcast is triggered.

Keep in mind, if you set the recipients in the UI but end up triggering through an API call, any recipients defined in the API call will override the UI setting.

### Make changes while the broadcast is queued to send

When a broadcast is triggered via API, it’s queued while sending to all recipients. Any edits you make to the message while it’s queued for sending will apply right away.

You can tell whether or not a send is in progress by clicking the bell icon in the top navigation bar and viewing your **Tasks** history.
