Update a one-time send variant

Update the content of a one-time send (referred to as a "newsletter" in our APIs): the default message, a test variant in an A/B test group, or a translation.

For an email, you can also update the envelope: from address, subject line, etc.

NOTE: You cannot manage content made with the drag-and-drop editor via API, and you cannot use this endpoint to update Design Studio emails. You can, however, manage Design Studio content with other endpoints. You also can't update in-app or inbox message content through the API—use the message editor instead.

Path Parameters

newsletter_id
Type: integer
required

The identifier of a one-time send.
content_id
Type: integer
required

The identifier of a message in a one-time send. If your one-time send has an A/B test group or includes multiple languages, each variant has its own content_id, separate from the newsletter_id.

Use List variants of a one-time send to find the content_id associated with the right variant.

Body

application/json

Update the contents of an email one-time send variant. You can set the sender with from_id. If you don't provide it, the existing sender is preserved.
body
Type: string

The HTML body of the email. You cannot modify the body if you created the one-time send with Design Studio or the drag-and-drop editor.

body_amp
Type: string

AMP-enabled content for your email. If a recipient's email client doesn't support AMP, they receive your body content instead. Make sure you're set up to send AMP first.

body_plain
Type: string

By default, your workspace generates a plaintext version of your message body for each delivery. Use this key to override the default plain text body.

from_id
Type: integer

The identifier of the from address, commonly known as the "sender". Use List sender identities to find valid IDs.

preheader_text
Type: string

Also known as "preview text", this is the small block of text shown in an email inbox next to or underneath the subject line.

recipient
Type: string

The recipient address for the one-time send. By default, it's {{customer.email}}.

reply_to_id
Type: integer | null

The identifier for the reply_to address, if applicable. Use List sender identities to find valid IDs.

subject
Type: string

The subject line for an email action.
