Create messaging template

🚧

CAUTION:

As part of our ongoing platform improvements, we will be performing a scheduled system upgrade that will temporarily affect our Template Management API's endpoints.

During this time, requests sent to the affected endpoint may fail or return an error response. All other platform services and API endpoints will remain fully operational.

You will be able to create your custom messaging templates either by utilizing My Telesign Portal or by reaching out to the Customer Support Team or your dedicated Customer Success Manager.

Use this action to create a Telesign Messaging template.
