How do I update a record via params?

I want to be able to update a record via params. Something like this:

http://domain.com/api/v1/notes/2190/notify?message=test

But it just returns a page not found. Pretty standard routes going on:

resources :notes, only: [:show] do
  post 'notify'
end

My notify method looks like this:

def notify
  @note = Note.find(params[:id])
  if params[:message]
    render text: @note.update_attributes(message: params[:message])
  end
end

Do I need to do anything else to permit this functionality? Any advice at all? I can't figure it out. Cheers.

The routes should be something like:

resources :notes, only: :show do
  member do
    get 'notify'
  end
end
