Document Templates

Rename a document template

PATCH/document-templates/{id}
document-templates:writeupdate_document_templateIdempotent

Sets the template's display name and returns the template. Only name can be sent, and it is required; other fields are read-only. The file and placements are untouched. The name it already has is 200 and emits nothing. Needs only the scope. dry_run previews it. Emits document_template.updated with changed_fields after commit; no email. Sending the old name undoes it.

Path parameters

  • idstring (uuid)Required#

    The record's id.

Query parameters

  • dry_runboolean#

    Validate and run the call without committing it, returning what the real call would return with meta.dry_run set.

Request body

application/json, required · DocumentTemplateUpdate

  • namestringRequired#

    The template's new display name.

  "name": "Subscription Agreement (2026)"
