rails 4 update record without using default update method

I want to update a model record without using the default update method. I want to use my custom method to update it. I want to use custom method like

def update_record do
end

The problem is whenever I retrieve a record, it automatically calls update method, instead of my custom method as shown below:

<%= form_for([@promotion], url: {action: :update_record}) do |f| %>
<% end %>

I have added rout.

  resources :promotions do
    collection {
      post :update_record
    }
  end

Thanks in advance.

You should change the method from POST to patch:

resources :promotions do
    collection {
      patch :update_record
    }
  end
