PATCH
Update a message template
Update a message template. This is a partial update: a field you omit keeps its stored value. channels, variants and countries are replaced as a whole when you send them. Only a template still in draft can be updated. Once it is submitted, a change is refused with template_not_editable, because a template under review or already registered with providers cannot change underneath that process.
