Twilio Content API allow_category_change body parameter behaviour change on POST /v1/Content/{id}/ApprovalRequests/whatsapp

Deprecated, no dateSubscribe to Twilio Content APIShare

Twilio Content API deprecated POST /v1/Content/{id}/ApprovalRequests/whatsapp, body parameter allow_category_change without giving a shutdown date yet.


Calls it hits

  • POST /v1/Content/{id}/ApprovalRequests/whatsapp
  • body parameter allow_category_change

What to use instead of these calls

Drop allow_category_change; WhatsApp may now reclassify a template's category, so choose the category its content fits.

In Twilio Content API's words

We have now unpublished this field from our documentation as it will no longer function. API calls with this field will still submit the template for approval but will no longer prevent recategorizations.
