Lowercase letters, digits and underscores only.

categorystringrequired

components object[]required

Meta's own component array, with a BODY at minimum, optionally HEADER, FOOTER, BUTTONS or CAROUSEL. Validated against Meta's rules before submission, so a malformed template comes back immediately with a sentence you can act on rather than hours later as an unexplained rejection. The rules that actually cause rejections: a body cannot end with a variable, every variable needs an example, and placeholders are positional and sequential from 1.

Possible values: >= 1

  • Array [

    allowCategoryChangeboolean

    Lets Meta re-file the template into another category rather than reject it outright.
