Every `{{variable}}` in the subject, preview text and body must be one the type resolves - see `GET /v1/platform/templates/variables` - or the write is a 400 with code `TEMPLATE_VARIABLE_NOT_ALLOWED` naming the offenders and the allowed set. `content` is a string (HTML, or plain text with `contentType: text`) or `{ html }` / `{ blocks }` in the block editor's format. An HTML block over the email size limit is a 400 (`CONTENT_TOO_LARGE`), and so is a button whose link has a `{{variable}}` inside the address rather than as the whole address (`LINK_HAS_BURIED_VARIABLE`). Customizing templates is not available on the Free plan (403, code `PLAN_FEATURE_LOCKED`). To customize a system email, use `POST /v1/platform/templates/system/{key}/copy` instead. Supports the `Idempotency-Key` header. ## OpenAPI ````yaml /openapi-platform.json post /v1/platform/templates openapi: 3.0.0 info: title: 1club Platform API version: 1.0.0 description: >- The 1club Platform API lets you programmatically access and manage your organization's data. ## Official API Contract This documentation is the official source of truth for the 1club Platform API. If an integration relies on undocumented endpoints, fields, response shapes, or internal behavior outside this spec, we can't guarantee backward compatibility. Build against what's documented here to stay stable as the platform evolves. ## Authentication All requests require a customer API key passed as a Bearer token: ``` Authorization: Bearer 1club_sk_live_... ``` Generate API keys from the admin portal under **Settings > API Tokens**. The key is tied to your organization - all responses are scoped to your org's data. Agents and MCP connectors can instead send an OAuth access token (the `platformOAuth` scheme), requesting only the scopes the task needs. ## Rate Limiting - **100 requests per minute** per API key - When exceeded, the API returns `429 Too Many Requests` with a `Retry-After` header - Rate limit headers are included in every response: - `X-RateLimit-Limit` - max requests per window - `X-RateLimit-Remaining` - requests remaining - `X-RateLimit-Reset` - seconds until the window resets ## Errors | Status | Meaning | |--------|---------| | `400` | Invalid request parameters | | `401` | Missing or invalid API key | | `404` | Resource not found (or doesn't belong to your organization) | | `429` | Rate limit exceeded | | `500` | Internal server error | ## Versioning and deprecation The API is versioned in the path (`/v1`). Changes within a version are additive: new endpoints, new optional parameters and new response fields can appear at any time, so clients should ignore fields they do not recognise. A breaking change ships as a new version. An operation due to be removed is first marked `deprecated: true` in this spec and announced in the changelog at https://docs.1club.ai/changelog, with advance notice before it is withdrawn. contact: name: 1club API Support email: support@1club.ai servers: - url: https://api.1club.ai description: Production API security: - customerApiAuth: [] - platformOAuth: [] tags: [] paths: /v1/platform/templates: post: tags: - Templates summary: Create a message template description: > Creates a reusable template. `type` defaults to `message` (applied in the message composer); `transactional` is for automations.
