v3 Additions

v3 adds read-only template attribution fields so integrations can tell manually created templates apart from templates Meta generated for Direct Send.

FieldTypeDescription
sourcestring | nullTemplate origin. AUTO_GENERATED marks a template Meta created from a Direct Send message. Manual and legacy rows return an empty or null source.
correctCategorystring | nullCategory Meta believes the template should use, when Meta has flagged a mismatch.
Query parameterValuesDescription
sourceAUTO_GENERATED, MANUALFilters the list by template origin. MANUAL returns rows with no stored source, which covers manually created and legacy templates.
Filter auto-generated templates
curl "https://graph.whats91.com/api/v3/templates?source=AUTO_GENERATED" \
  -H "Authorization: Bearer w91_live_xxx"

Warning

Auto-generated templates are for inspection and reporting only. Do not edit, delete, duplicate, submit, or test-send them, and do not select them through approved-template workflows.
