# Unmute authors on an alert

`POST /v1/alerts/{id}/unmute`

Remove authors from the alert's muted list without touching the rest of its filter. Name each one by the stored entry or by any link to that profile or its posts. Authors that are not muted are ignored, so a retry is safe.

## Parameters

- `id` (path, required): Alert id (feed_...).

## Body

- `authors` (required): Profile or post links (x.com/name, linkedin.com/in/name, reddit.com/user/name, a post URL), handles (@name, u/name), Bluesky DIDs or display names. A link is stored as the author's profile; a plain name or handle matches that name on every platform.

## Responses

- 200: The alert, with its muted list
- 401: Missing or invalid API key
- 404: Rule not found
