Update Email Template

POST https://rest.iad-01.braze.com/templates/email/update

Use the Template REST APIs to programmatically manage the email templates that you have stored on the Braze dashboard, on the Templates & Media page. Braze provides two endpoints for creating and updating your email templates.

Use the endpoints below to update email templates on the Braze dashboard. You can access an email template's email_template_id by navigating to it on the Templates and Media page. The email template creation API endpoint will also return an email_template_id reference.

All fields other than the email_template_id are optional, but you must specify at least one field to update.
