Create SMS Content (including Twilio Verify template)
POST {{apiPath}}/environments/{{envID}}/templates/{{templateName}}/contents/
This example uses POST {{apiPath}}/environments/{{envID}}/templates/{{templateName}}/contents/ to create notification content that can also be used for Twilio Verify.
It is similar to the standard request to create notification content for SMS notifications, but includes also the ID and locale of an existing Twilio Verify template.
Note that the URL includes the template type, for example, device_pairing. For the full list of template types, refer to the Notifications templates settings table under Notification Templates.
SMS content associated with the strong_authentication template supports line breaks. When specifying a line break, you must escape the newline character in the content property (for example, "content":" Your OTP is ${OTP}. \\nPlease submit. ").
