# Change a site's settings (`analytics_update_site`)

Changes a site's name, time zone, traffic alert, weekly summary, JavaScript errors and whether where leads came from is kept with them.

Its name, the time zone its days follow, a traffic alert (the analytics.traffic_spike event when this many people are on the site within 5 minutes, at most once in 6 hours; 0 turns it off), a weekly summary (the analytics.weekly_summary event every Monday morning), whether JavaScript errors are kept (track_errors, off by default) and whether where a lead first came from is kept with their contact (keep_sources, on by default). Events reach Slack, Teams, webhooks and the rest through notify_subscribe, and bots through account_events.

Price: Free. A call that fails costs nothing.

## Use it when

The business wants an alert when many people are on the site at once, a summary every Monday, or the site's JavaScript errors.
