Submits the template's draft as a new immutable, numbered version and makes it the live version used by sends. The draft remains editable.
Every language the draft has must have a subject and a body, and the default language must be present. Submission is all or nothing: an incomplete language rejects the request and the response reports every language error. A submit freezes every language the draft carries, so it cannot name a subset. The draft does not have to hold every language you plan to support: add more in a later version.
Set validate_only: true to run the checks without creating a version.
Set expected_revision to reject a concurrent edit. An unchanged draft is
rejected. Submission is synchronous, and a returned version is live.
参数
template_refstringThe template's id (emt_…) or slug. Submit freezes a draft, and a built-in system template has no draft, so its bird_ slug returns 404 not_found_error here.
version_idstring请求载荷
validate_onlyCheck the draft without actually submitting it. Every language gets checked and every problem gets reported back to you, but nothing is frozen and no new version gets created. Give a validation run its own Idempotency-Key, separate from the real submit that follows it. You can also send no key. The validation request and real submit have different bodies, so using the same key for both is rejected as key reuse.
expected_revisionThe draft revision you last read (from the template's revision field). A stale value returns a conflict so you can reload and retry.
languagesLanguages to process when submitting an already-published version. Email templates accept submissions only for drafts, so setting this field for an email template is rejected.
响应载荷
validWhether the version passed every check.
errorsEvery problem found across the draft's languages. Empty when valid is true.
显示子属性
errors.languageThe language this problem is about. Null when the problem is about the whole version rather than one language, for example an empty draft, or a default language the draft does not have.
errors.fieldWhich field within that language has the problem, such as subject or html. Null when the problem is not about one particular field.
errors.codeThe error code a real submit would fail with. Look it up in the error catalog to see what it means and what to do about it.
errors.messageWhat is wrong, worded so you can show it directly to whoever is authoring the template.
versionThe version this submit created, or null when it was only a validation run and nothing got frozen. As soon as this is not null, sends already use that version. No further action is required to make it live.
显示子属性
version.idTemplate version ID.
version.template_idThe template this version belongs to.
version.version_numberSequential published-version number (1, 2, 3…). Null while the version is a draft.
version.statusWhether this version is still being edited or has been published. It records
the version's publication history: a version that a later one replaced stays
published. The template's live_version_id names the version a send
resolves to now.
archived is reserved and no version carries it yet. Version retirement will
produce it, so it is declared here ahead of that feature: a client written
against this list today keeps working when the first archived version arrives,
rather than the value's arrival being a breaking change.
Possible values: draft, published, archived
version.revisionThe version's revision counter.
version.variablesInput definitions this version uses, including caller parameters and reserved Bird inputs. An entry with system false is yours to send in template.parameters. An entry with system true names a reserved Bird key; supported paths receive Bird values. A draft can also report unsupported reserved paths, including bare bird, whose constraint explains that no Bird value fills them. Correct these paths before publishing. Naming a reserved Bird key in a send is rejected with a 422.
The list combines all the languages, because languages do not have to use the same inputs: if the English body uses discount_code and the French body uses shipping_date, both appear here. A send requires values only for the caller parameters referenced by its resolved language. Preview each language to see its inputs. Extra parameters are ignored; omitting a caller parameter referenced by the resolved language returns a 422 naming it.
显示子属性
version.variables.keyThe key this slot is filled by. When system is true it is the reserved bird key or a dotted path beneath it, such as bird.contact.first_name, and naming it in a send is rejected. Otherwise, on email and SMS it is the key you set in the send's parameters object, and on WhatsApp the name you repeat on the matching parameter inside components, or, for a template whose placeholders are positional, the position itself as 1, 2 and so on.
version.variables.typeThe value type this slot accepts. Built-in SMS templates use typed slots (code, amount and the rest), each of which rejects a value that does not match its constraint. Email, WhatsApp and workspace SMS templates use text. Workspace SMS parameters must be scalar values. Open enum: treat an unrecognized value as a future type rather than an error.
Possible values (may grow over time): code, ttl, count, ref, date, date_time, amount, currency, text
version.variables.requiredWhether the send must supply this variable. Omitting a required value returns 422 on email, SMS, and WhatsApp sends. Always false when system is true, because you do not supply that slot's value.
version.variables.constraintA plain-language description of what values this variable accepts. When system is true it names where Bird takes the value from instead, because there is no value for you to send.
version.variables.sensitiveWhether this slot's value is redacted from stored message content. A placeholder replaces the sensitive value in message history; transport queues can still carry the text needed for delivery.
version.variables.systemWhether the value comes from Bird rather than from the send. Absent means false. Only email templates have system slots, identified by the reserved bird key or a dotted path beneath it; every SMS and WhatsApp slot is yours to fill. A draft can also name a reserved key no Bird value fills, including bird itself: constraint says so, and publishing that draft is rejected.
version.languagesThe content this version holds, keyed by language tag in BCP-47 form such as en or pt-BR. Publishing freezes every language together, so a version shows exactly what it would send in each of them. On a published version this is the send content.
version.default_languageThe language this version treats as its default: the one a send uses when it names none, and the last resort when a requested language is not available.
version.created_atWhen this version was created.
version.published_atWhen this version was published, or null if it has not been published.
version.updated_byWho last saved this version: a member's own session, an OAuth token delegated from one, or a workspace API key. Publishing freezes a version, so on a published one this is whoever published it. Null means no actor is on record: a built-in template, which is code-defined rather than stored, or a version last saved by an API key before this field existed. Every other version has one, even when its display_name could not be resolved (a member whose account is gone, say).
显示子属性
version.updated_by.idActor identifier.
version.updated_by.typeNew actor types may be added. Treat unrecognized values as future types, not errors.
user: a member's own session.api_key: a workspace API key.oauth_token: a token issued to a caller on a member's behalf.system: an action we perform without a customer actor.sso: an organization's SSO connection.service_account: a workspace's connected Integration acting with no member behind it.automation: an automation execution in your workspace.
Possible values (may grow over time): user, api_key, oauth_token, system, sso, service_account, automation
version.updated_by.display_nameThe label the actor is shown under: typically a member's name or email address, or the API key's name. Null when it could not be resolved.
template_refThe template this submit addressed.
version_idThe draft this submit addressed: the one it froze, or on a validation run the one it checked and left as it was. The frozen version, when there is one, is version.
compatibility_severityThe worst severity across every finding the response was computed from, which
is the authoritative reading: a response that caps how many findings it lists
still accounts here for the ones it left out. Each response's compatibility
says which content it covered.
problem: at least one finding is aproblem.warning: every finding is awarning.none: there are no findings.
Possible values: problem, warning, none
compatibilityWhat the draft's HTML uses that mail clients remove, ignore, or render inconsistently, across every language, in alphabetical order of language tag and then the order the patterns appear. Empty when nothing is worth reporting. Advisory, and separate from errors: a finding never fails a submit, so the version froze either way. Each finding names the language it is in, and its line and column count in that language's HTML, which the language read returns as content.html. At most 200 findings come back, the first 200 in that order, so a draft that reaches the cap can omit a later language's findings entirely rather than trimming each language: read a language's own findings from its read or its write. compatibility_severity is derived from every finding the draft produced, including any beyond those 200.
显示子属性
compatibility.rule_idThe rule that produced this finding.
Possible values (may grow over time): html_script, html_event_handlers, html_embedded_content, html_linked_stylesheet, css_at_import, html_form, html_svg, html_media, css_display_flex_grid, css_position_fixed_sticky, css_variables_no_fallback, css_viewport_units, html_button, css_math_functions, css_modern_color, html_web_page_markup
compatibility.severityWhat a finding costs you.
problem: the pattern does nothing at all. The client removes the markup, never loads the stylesheet carrying it, or will not operate the control. Where a finding names clients, that is what happens in those clients.warning: it does something, but not what you wrote.
Neither one refuses a save, a submit, or a send.
Possible values: problem, warning
compatibility.languageWhich language's content this finding is in. Null when the call covered a single language.
compatibility.fieldWhich field of that language the finding is in. Always html; the subject and the plain-text body are not checked.
compatibility.messageWhat is wrong and which clients it affects, worded to show to whoever is authoring the template. It covers the rule's whole category rather than the exact text that matched, so a rule covering <video> and <audio> names both whichever one is on the line. Show fix and then partial after it.
compatibility.fixWhat to use instead. Null when there is no drop-in alternative and the fix is a restructure.
compatibility.partialWhich clients support the feature only partly. Null when no client's support is partial.
compatibility.lineThe 1-based line the pattern is on, in the HTML the containing response's compatibility says it covered.
compatibility.columnThe 1-based column the pattern starts at, on that line.
compatibility.matchThe source text that matched, starting at line and column: the smallest span that identifies what is wrong. Never the enclosing line. For a finding on a whole element, the span runs from the opening tag through the close tag, because the client drops the element's content along with its markup. Cut at 256 characters, so an element holding a long body is quoted from its start rather than in full.
compatibility.unsupported_clientsEvery client family that does not support the feature at all, in alphabetical order by each entry's family. Empty on a finding whose message, fix, and partial name no client. message names at most four families; this names all of them.
显示子属性
compatibility.unsupported_clients.familyWhich mail client a finding applies to. A finding's message names at most
Apple Mail, Gmail, Outlook, and Yahoo; its unsupported_clients and
partial_clients name every client affected.
