Sync Templates with Meta

Trigger a full template sync with Meta across every WhatsApp number linked to your account. Waplify fetches the latest template list from Meta, creates missing templates locally, updates changed ones (e.g., approval status transitions from PENDING → APPROVED), and removes templates that were deleted on Meta.

POST /api/v1/templates/sync

Use this after submitting a template via Create Template or Create Carousel Template to refresh the approval status, or any time you suspect local state is out of date with Meta.

Request body

No body required.

Example request

curl -X POST https://server.waplify.io/api/v1/templates/sync \
  -H "Authorization: Bearer wapl_your_api_key"

When to sync

• After editing a template in the Waplify dashboard (or directly on Meta's Business Manager)
• Periodically (e.g., once per hour) if you keep a local cache of templates
