Updates a template's metadata and draft settings, such as its name or default language. Only the fields you send are changed.
Content is not edited here: save a language on the draft version instead.
Send the draft revision you last read. If someone else changed the draft first, including by saving a language, the revision is stale and the request returns a conflict so you can reload and retry.
参数
template_ref
string
The template's id (emt_…) or slug. On read, a built-in system template's bird_ slug also resolves here. Write operations (update, delete) accept a workspace template only, because a system template is immutable.
请求载荷
revision
integer
必填
The draft revision you last read (from the template's revision field). A stale value returns a conflict so you can reload and retry.
name
string
New display name, in free text. The slug stays fixed at creation, so renaming the template does not break whatever refers to it by slug or id.
description
nullable string
What the template is for, in your own words. Send null to clear it.
default_language
string
New default language for the draft. Must be one of the languages the draft already has, so add the language first if it is not there yet.
on_missing_language
string
What a send does when it asks for a language this template does not carry.
language_source_required
boolean
Whether a send has to name a language. Turning it on rejects a send that names none instead of serving the default language, and makes the template unusable for a broadcast, which has no way to name one.
响应载荷
id
string
必填
Template ID.
workspace_id
nullable string
必填
The workspace that owns the template. Null for a built-in system template, which no workspace owns.
slug
string
必填
The name you send the template by. You can use either the slug or the id when you send. It never changes after the template is created. A built-in system template's slug always starts with bird_.
name
string
必填
The template's display name, shown wherever the template is listed. You can change it any time. It defaults to the slug if you do not set one.
description
nullable string
必填
What the template is for, in your own words. Null if you have not set one.
scope
string
必填
Whether the template is one of our built-in templates (system) or one your workspace created (workspace).
Possible values: system, workspace
status
string
必填
Where the template stands as a whole. The same five states on every channel.
  • draft: nothing has ever gone live.
  • pending: nothing is live and at least one language is in review.
  • active: at least one language is live, so something can be sent.
  • rejected: it was reviewed and every language was refused.
  • inactive: nothing is live and nothing is in review, so content was withdrawn or was blocked before anything went live.
A template with one language live is active even while another is still drafted or refused. Read languages for the state of each language and its reason.
Which values a channel reports follows its review model. A channel whose content a third party reviews uses all five. On email and SMS, where content goes live on publish, a template is draft, active or inactive, and pending and rejected are reserved for the review stage coming to both, so a template reaching either is not a breaking change.
Possible values: draft, pending, active, rejected, inactive
category
string
必填
Whether the template is for transactional email or marketing email.
Possible values: transactional, marketing
source
string
必填
The authoring format the template is written in, fixed at creation. html is finished markup you provide, optionally personalized with Liquid.
Possible values (may grow over time): html
theme
nullable string
必填
The visual theme a built-in template is designed in, or null for a template your workspace authored (which has no theme).
draft_version_id
nullable string
必填
The current editable draft version. Null for a built-in system template, which has no draft.
live_version_id
nullable string
必填
The version a send resolves to, or null if the template has never been published.
published_version_id
nullable string
必填
Deprecated: use live_version_id instead, which carries the same value.
revision
nullable integer
必填
The draft's revision counter. Send it back on the next update to detect concurrent edits. Null for a built-in system template, which is unversioned.
languages
object
必填
Every language this template has, keyed by language tag in BCP-47 form such as en or pt-BR, each with its state. One read tells you which languages are live and which have unpublished edits, without fetching any content.
Content is not here: read a version's languages for that, one language at a time.
default_language
string
必填
The language the draft defaults to. This is the language languages is keyed against while you edit, and the language used by sends once you submit this draft.
Until then sends keep using the live version's default, so this can differ from what is being sent right now. available_languages describes the live version for the same reason; read a version to see the default a send currently uses.
available_languages
array of string
必填
The languages this template currently supports for sending, as BCP-47 tags. Empty until the template is published, because sends serve published content. The set may shrink for reasons other than editing, so read it rather than assuming it matches what was published. A built-in system template has no publish step and always reports its one language.
on_missing_language
string
必填
What a send does when it asks for a language this template does not carry. Defaults to fallback on email.
language_source_required
boolean
必填
Whether a send has to name a language. When true, a send that names none is rejected instead of being served the default language, and the template cannot be used for a broadcast, which has no way to name one.
last_submitted_at
nullable string
必填
When this template was last submitted. Null if it never has been. Submitting is the only thing that moves this timestamp: rolling back changes which version is live without counting as a submit, so this keeps reporting the last real submit. Read it alongside languages, which says where each language stands.
created_at
nullable string
必填
When the template was created. Null for a built-in system template.
updated_at
nullable string
必填
When the template was last modified. Null for a built-in system template.
