Writes one language of the template's draft, creating it when absent (201) and replacing it when present (200). A full replacement, so send the language's complete content every time. Only the draft is writable: submitted versions are immutable, and a language under active review at Meta refuses the write until that review finishes. Pass revision to make the write a compare-and-set against the copy you read. Tags are canonicalised, and the response echoes the canonical form: use it in later calls for this language.

पैरामीटर

template_refstring

Template ID (wat_ prefix) or slug. A value that parses as a valid ID resolves by ID; any other value resolves as a slug.

version_idstring

ID of the template version (wav_ prefix), as returned by the version list.

languagestring

The language, as a BCP-47 tag. Case and separator variance is accepted and normalised, and the canonical form is returned.

Request Payload

components
array of object

The template's content blocks for this language. Header, footer and buttons are optional. Every variable needs an example value, which is what Meta reviews against. May be omitted or empty on a draft; a body block is required before the language can be submitted.

चाइल्ड पैरामीटर दिखाएँ
components.type
string
आवश्यक

A content block's type. A body block is required on every language; header, footer, buttons and carousel are optional and appear at most once each. A carousel holds the cards a marketing template scrolls through, and is the one block type that nests: its cards carry blocks of their own. Any other value is rejected.

Possible values: header, body, footer, buttons, carousel

components.format
string

The header's kind. Required on a header block and refused on any other.

Possible values: text, image, video, gif, document, location

components.text
string

The block's text, with each variable written as a placeholder. Send it on a body, a footer, and a text header. Four blocks refuse it. A buttons block carries text on the buttons themselves. A media or location header shows a file or map and has nowhere to put copy. A carousel carries text on its cards. For an authentication template's body and footer, WhatsApp writes the copy from the two settings below. May be empty on a draft; required before submission.

components.add_security_recommendation
boolean

Ends an authentication template's body with WhatsApp's own advice not to share the code. Send it only on an authentication template's body block, whose copy is otherwise WhatsApp's to write.

components.code_expiration_minutes
integer

How long the passcode stays valid. Send it on an authentication template's footer block and WhatsApp writes the footer stating it; omit the footer block entirely to leave it off. WhatsApp enforces the range it accepts and refuses the submission otherwise.

components.example_parameters
array of object

An example value per {{n}} in text, in placeholder order. Meta reviews the filled message rather than the template, so a block with variables and no examples is refused. A media header also carries its file here as one entry. Its type matches the header's format, and its url addresses the file. A media header has no placeholder, so this entry is the header's own sample rather than a value that fills one.

चाइल्ड पैरामीटर दिखाएँ
components.buttons
array of object

The buttons this block carries. Send it only on a buttons block. Ten in total, of which at most two open a link and at most one dials a number. Quick replies must sit together rather than being interleaved with the other types, so Quick reply, Quick reply, Link is accepted where Quick reply, Link, Quick reply is refused. A template with four or more buttons, or one that mixes a quick reply with another type, cannot be opened on WhatsApp's desktop clients, and the recipient is asked to switch to their phone. May be omitted or empty on a draft; at least one button is required before submission.

चाइल्ड पैरामीटर दिखाएँ
components.buttons.type
string
आवश्यक

A button's behavior.

  • url: opens a link.
  • quick_reply: sends its own label back to you as an inbound message.
  • phone_number: dials the number it carries.
  • otp: copies a one-time passcode. It belongs only on an authentication template, and that template takes no other button type.
  • copy_code: copies a coupon code to the recipient's clipboard. It belongs only on a marketing template, which takes at most one.
  • request_contact_info: asks the recipient to share the phone number their WhatsApp account carries. It belongs only on a utility or marketing template, as that template's only button.

Any other value is rejected.

Possible values: url, quick_reply, phone_number, otp, copy_code, request_contact_info

components.buttons.otp_type
string

How the recipient receives the passcode. Send it only on an otp button.

Possible values: copy_code

components.buttons.text
string

The button's label, which each button type treats differently.

  • url, quick_reply, phone_number: your own label. Required.
  • otp: omit it. WhatsApp writes this label itself and reveals it only once the language has been submitted.
  • copy_code: omit it. WhatsApp fixes this label and does not let you change it.
  • request_contact_info: omit it. WhatsApp fixes this label too and writes Share Contact Info, which is also what a submitted button reads back as, so a read button can be written back unchanged.

A draft takes any label, so this may be empty on a draft and is required only before submission. A label a fixed-label button may not carry is refused rather than silently replaced: the submit comes back as valid: false with an errors entry naming this field, in every language.

components.buttons.url
string

The address a url button opens. An address with a placeholder is personalized per recipient, and one without is the same for everyone. At most one variable, and it must sit at the end of the address, written as {{1}}. A button address is numbered this way even on a template whose text uses named variables. A variable needs its example value in example_parameters. May be empty on a draft; required before submission.

components.buttons.phone_number
string

The number a phone_number button dials, in international format. Some countries publish numbers with a leading zero after the country calling code; WhatsApp strips that zero, so give a number that dials without it. May be empty on a draft; required before submission.

components.buttons.example_parameters
array of object

The value that fills the variable in url, which WhatsApp reviews in the filled address. Send only the value, so a {{1}} standing for an order number takes A-4192. Required whenever url carries a variable. Also required on a copy_code button as one text entry. The entry carries a sample coupon code of at most 20 characters for WhatsApp to review. Each recipient copies the code you provide when sending the message.

चाइल्ड पैरामीटर दिखाएँ
components.cards
array of object

The cards a carousel block scrolls through. Send it only on a carousel block, and only on a marketing template. Every card must carry the same blocks in the same order, and a card's header shows an image or a video. A document header works at the top of a template but not on a card. The number of cards is fixed once the language is approved. A template approved with three cards always sends three. Changing the count requires a new template rather than a new version of this one. May be omitted or hold fewer than two on a draft; at least two are required before submission.

चाइल्ड पैरामीटर दिखाएँ
revision
integer

The revision you last read for this language, making the write a compare-and-set: a mismatch is refused with a conflict, leaving an edit you have not seen in place. Omit it for last-write-wins, which is what a single writer wants. Supplying it for a language that does not exist is also refused with a conflict rather than recreating the language. Inside a template's initial languages seed on create, a value here is refused, since no prior revision exists yet to compare against.

Response Payload

language
string
आवश्यक

The canonical form of the tag you addressed. Use it in later calls for this language.

revision
integer
आवश्यक

The language's new revision, to pass back on your next write.

content_hash
string
आवश्यक

A hash over the content as saved, so you can tell whether your next write would change anything without diffing the document.

updated_at
string
आवश्यक

When this language was last written.
