Delete WhatsApp Template
Delete WhatsApp Template for SMSGatewayCenter APIs
Introduction to SMSGatewayCenter APIs
Welcome to SMSGatewayCenter’s API documentation hub! This guide introduces the Delete WhatsApp Template API, a key feature in our messaging suite, including SMS API for bulk messaging, WhatsApp Business API for customer engagement, Voice Call API for automated alerts, and Two-Way SMS API for interactive communication. This API supports only POST methods over HTTP, allowing you to delete a WhatsApp Business API template by its name. Ideal for developers in India, manage your templates efficiently with our SMS gateway at unify.smsgatewaycenter.com/signup/!
Use the Delete WhatsApp Template API to remove outdated or unused WhatsApp templates (e.g., by template name) from your WhatsApp Business Account (WABA). This endpoint ensures your template management remains organized, but note that deleted templates cannot be reused for 30 days, and messages sent before deletion may attempt delivery for 30 days.
