Templates - Amazon Pinpoint

Templates

A message template is a set of content and settings that you can define, save, and reuse in email messages, push notifications, SMS text messages, and voice messages for any of your Amazon Pinpoint applications.

When you create a message template, you specify the content and settings that you want to reuse in various components of messages that are based on the template. These components, referred to as template parts, can be the message title or subject, the message body, or both, depending on the message type. A template part can also be a channel-specific setting, such as an image to display or a sound to play when a recipient receives a message that's based on the template. When you send a message that’s based on a template, Amazon Pinpoint populates the message with the content and settings that you defined in the template.

The Templates resource represents the repository of message templates that are associated with your Amazon Pinpoint account. You can use this resource to retrieve information about all the message templates that are associated with your account. To retrieve information about versions of a specific message template, use the Template Versions resource.
