Activate a message template - Amazon Connect

Activate a message template

To help you manage the development and use of individual message templates, Amazon Connect supports versioning for all types of message templates. Versioning provides a way for you to create a history of changes to a template—each version is a snapshot of a template at a certain point in time. Versioning also provides a way for you to control the contents and settings of messages that use a template.

You can only activate message templates that have been Saved as new version. This is to prevent accidentally activating templates that are drafts.

When a template version is Activated, it is available to be added to the Flow block in Amazon Connect: Send message and may be available to agents through the agent workspace.
