Templates
Verify Templates are in Public beta!
Pre-approved and custom templates are currently in the Public beta maturity stage, which means that:
We're actively looking for early-adopter customers to try it out and give us feedback. That could be you!
Please note that pre-approved and custom templates are only supported with the SMS and Voice channels.
Templates are predefined and approved messages used to send Verifications that allow you to customize the Verification message. An account can have multiple templates associated with it to accommodate various scenarios.
Verify offers three different types of templates to support your use cases: Verify Default, pre-approved, and custom. Read more about the features and differences of these template types here.
Template translations and supported languages
Verify will automatically resolve a template message body's locale based on phone number country code or fallback to English or a custom template’s default language. Using this automatic resolution is highly recommended. If you still must override locale, use the locale parameter. Learn more about supported languages here.
