MessageTemplate

MessageTemplate is a resource that represents a template for a message that can be sent to a candidate. It can be used in the initial message of a FlowRun. Or as a standalone message. MessageTemplates are a proxy of WhatsApp templates.

This means it is a requirement to have a WhatsApp Business Account/number connected to the platform to create these messages. However, the MessageTemplate can be used to send messages to any channel, not just WhatsApp.

Currently it is not possible to update a MessageTemplate after it has been created.
