## Update company

`PATCH /v1/companies/:id`

Updates company fields. Pass only the fields you want to change. Full list in the [field reference](/docs/entities/companies/fields), including user fields (`ufCrm_*`).

> ⚠ **Important about `email` / `phone` / `web` (multifield):** On update, Bitrix24 **only adds** new multifield records. A PATCH `{"email": "new@y.com"}` to a company that already has an email will **not replace** the old one — the company will end up with two emails. This is Bitrix24-specific behavior, not Vibecode. To replace or delete email/phone/web, edit the company through the Bitrix24 UI.
