Edit a template

POST/{template_id}

Changes a template's content, its category, or both. The edited template goes back to review, and you can't send it until it's approved again.

  • Only templates that are APPROVED, REJECTED or PAUSED can be edited.
  • An approved template can be edited once a day, and up to 10 times in 30 days.
  • The name and language can't change. To rename, create a new template.
  • Send the complete new list of components, not just the parts that change.
