SMS Template

An SMS template is a type of message template that contains content and settings that you can define, save, and reuse in messages that you send through the SMS channel for any of your Amazon Pinpoint applications. You can use SMS templates in text messages that you send from campaigns, or to a limited audience as direct or test messages.

When you create an SMS template, you specify the settings and content that you want to reuse in the body of messages that are based on the template. This content can be static text or personalized content that you define by using the Handlebars template system and message variables. When you send a message that’s based on a template, Amazon Pinpoint populates the message with the settings and content that you defined in the template.

The SMS Template resource represents the repository of SMS templates that are associated with your Amazon Pinpoint account. You can use this resource to create, retrieve, update, or delete a message template for messages that you send through the SMS channel.

Amazon Pinpoint supports versioning for all types of message templates. When you use the SMS Template resource to work with a template, you can use supported parameters to specify whether your request applies to only a specific version of the template or to the overall template. For example, if you update a template, you can specify whether you want to save your updates as a new version of the template or save them to the latest existing version of the template. To retrieve information about all the versions of a template, use the Template Versions resource.

Operation ID: GetSmsTemplate

Retrieves the content and settings of a message template for messages that are sent through the SMS channel.

Path parameters
Name	Type	Required	Description
`template-name`	String	True	The name of the message template. A template name must start with an alphanumeric character and can contain a maximum of 128 characters. The characters can be alphanumeric characters, underscores (_), or hyphens (-). Template names are case sensitive.

If specified for an update operation, this value must match the identifier for the latest existing version of the template. This restriction helps ensure that race conditions don't occur. If you don't specify a value for this parameter, Amazon Pinpoint does the following: For a get operation, retrieves information about the active version of the template. For an update operation, saves the updates to (overwrites) the latest existing version of the template, if the `create-new-version` parameter isn't used or is set to `false`.
