**PUT** `https://www.digicert.com/services/v2/account`

Use this endpoint to update the email addresses that receive CertCentral account notifications and emergency emails.


> **Important**
>
> This endpoint **replaces** the current account notifications and emergency email lists. To see the current account notifications email list, use the [Account details](https://dev.digicert.com/md/certcentral-apis/services-api/account/account-details.md) endpoint and look for the `admin_email` parameter in the response.
