Overview

This API allows you to copy a template from one app (app_id) to another (target_app_id). The duplicated template will have the same content as the original, but a new unique template_id.
Authorization Required: You must use your Organization API key, not an app-level REST API key.Permissions Note: Your user must have admin-level access to both the source and target apps. If not, the request will fail with a “permission denied” error.

​
Requirements

  • Organization Membership: Both the app_id and target_app_id must belong to the same Organization.
  • Organization API Key: Required for this operation.
  • Admin Access: Required for both source and target apps.

​
Parameters

  • template_id (path param): UUID of the template to be copied.
  • app_id (query param): ID of the app where the original template exists.
  • target_app_id (body param): ID of the app where the template will be duplicated.

​
