In-App Template

An in-app messaging template is a type of message template that contains content and settings that you can define, save, and reuse in messages that you send to users of your applications.

When you create an in-app messaging template, you specify the layout of the message and the content contained in the message. You can also change the color and position of the message text, add buttons to the message, and add images to the message.

The In-App Template resource represents the repository of in-app messaging 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 in-app messaging channel.

Amazon Pinpoint supports versioning for all types of message templates. When you use the In-App 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.

HTTP methods

GET

Operation ID: GetInAppTemplate

Retrieves the content and configuration of an in-app message template.

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.

Header parameters

Query parameters
Name	Type	Required	Description

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`. For a delete operation, deletes the template, including all versions of the template.
