Response code updated for invalid template name

Transactional

What

We’ve been updating our API responses recently to provide a more semantic response for the requests you make. With this release, we’re changing the way our API responds if you provide an invalid template name when requesting template information or if you try to send a message using a template that doesn’t exist. Once this change goes live, we’ll respond with an HTTP 404 Not Found. 

If you’re specifically targeting HTTP response codes other than 200, you may need to update your code. We’re releasing this change incrementally over the next few weeks.

Why

Previously, we responded with an HTTP 500 Server Error when you provided an invalid template name or slug. We’re updating this to bring our response in line with proper semantics and allow more efficient status monitoring.

    Export API 1.0 and API 2.0 no longer supported

    Marketing

    What

    We’re retiring API Export 1.0 and API 2.0 on June 1, 2023.  We won’t support calls to these endpoints after the retirement date and will return an HTTP 410 status message. If your application or integration still makes use of these endpoints, you’ll need to update it to our Marketing API 3.0.

    Why

    We deprecated API Export 1.0 and API 2.0 on December 31, 2016 and have encouraged our developer community to upgrade to API 3.0 in the intervening time. Although we've continued to support the deprecated endpoints, they've seen increasing performance issues and it’s no longer viable to maintain them.
