POST/v1/templates

Secret key — sk_… or sk_test_… · Base URL https://api.volanea.com

Stores reusable content addressed by templateId, so a send can name the template instead of carrying the markup.

subject, body, and the preheader support {{variable}} placeholders, resolved at send time against the per-call variables first and the contact's own fields second. fromEmail must sit on a verified domain or every send from this template fails.

Version 1 is written immediately. Every later content change bumps the version and keeps the previous one, which is what POST /v1/templates/{id}/rollback restores.
