Templates are pre‑approved message formats required to start conversations with customers. This API creates a template locally and submits it to Meta for approval in one call, then lets you track its status.

Required scopes: templates.read for reads/sync, templates.write for create/delete.

List approved templates#

GET/api/v1/templates

Required scope: templates.read

Returns approved templates ready to send, with their variables.

{
  "success": true,
  "templates": [
    { "name": "order_update", "language": "en_US", "category": "utility", "variables": ["1", "2"] }
  ],
  "totalTemplates": 1
}

Create & submit a template#

Creates the template and submits it to Meta for approval.

POST/api/v1/templates

Required scope: templates.write

Request Body:

{
  "name": "order_update",
  "category": "UTILITY",
  "language": "en_US",
  "body": "Hi {{1}}, your order {{2}} has shipped."
}

Field	Type	Description
`name`	string	Lowercase letters, digits, and underscores only
`category`	string	`MARKETING`, `UTILITY`, or `AUTHENTICATION` (default `UTILITY`)
`language`	string	Language code (default `en_US`)
`body`	string	Template body; use `{{1}}`, `{{2}}` for variables

Response:

{
  "success": true,
  "template": { "id": 12, "name": "order_update", "status": "pending", "whatsappStatus": "PENDING" },
  "meta": { "id": "1963056624506103", "status": "PENDING" }
}

cURL Example:

curl -X POST "https://waflow.edesy.in/api/v1/templates" \
  -H "X-API-Key: wc_your_api_key" \
  -H "Content-Type: application/json" \
  -d '{
    "name": "order_update",
    "category": "UTILITY",
    "language": "en_US",
    "body": "Hi {{1}}, your order {{2}} has shipped."
  }'

Note Requires a connected WhatsApp account (otherwise 400 WHATSAPP_NOT_CONFIGURED). Newly submitted templates start as PENDING; Meta typically reviews within minutes to a few hours. If Meta rejects the submission the endpoint returns 400 META_SUBMISSION_FAILED with the reason, and keeps the local draft so you can fix and resubmit.
