Update sponsor

The Update sponsor API allows event organizers and portal administrators to modify an existing sponsor record associated with a specific event in their Zoho Backstage portal. By passing the unique sponsor_id, along with the portal_id and event_id, you can update sponsor details such as company name, sponsorship tier, amount, currency, contact details, website URL, and description.

This endpoint is typically used when you want to:

• Update sponsor company information

• Change billing amounts or currency

• Update sponsor contact details

• Correct sponsor description or website URL

• Maintain accurate sponsorship records
