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](../notifications-templates.html). 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 ${OTP}. \\nPlease submit. "`). ### Prerequisites * Refer to [Notifications](../../notifications.html) for important overview information. > **Collapse: Request Model** > > | Property | Type | Required? | > | ----------------------------- | ------ | --------- | > | `content` | String | Required | > | `deliveryMethod` | String | Required | > | `locale` | String | Required | > | `twilioVerifyTemplate.id` | String | Required | > | `twilioVerifyTemplate.locale` | String | Required | > | `variant` | String | Optional | > > Refer to the [Notifications templates property data models](../notifications-templates.html#notifications-templates-properties) for full property descriptions. ### Headers Authorization      Bearer {{accessToken}} Content-Type      application/json ### Body raw ( application/json ) ```json { "locale": "en", "variant": "variant_C", "content": "${user.username} your one time password is ${OTP}.", "deliveryMethod": "SMS", "twilioVerifyTemplate": { "id": "HJd2847507a6104c1622eaccf1f949af7d", "locale": "en" } } ``` ## ### Example Request * cURL * C# * Go * HTTP * Java * jQuery * NodeJS * Python * PHP * Ruby * Swift ```shell curl --location --globoff '{{apiPath}}/v1/environments/{{envID}}/templates/{{templateName}}/contents/' \ --header 'Content-Type: application/json' \ --header 'Authorization: Bearer {{accessToken}}' \ --data '{ "locale": "en", "variant": "variant_C", "content": "${user.username} your one time password is ${OTP}.", "deliveryMethod": "SMS", "twilioVerifyTemplate": { "id": "HJd2847507a6104c1622eaccf1f949af7d", "locale": "en" } }' ``` ```csharp var options = new RestClientOptions("{{apiPath}}/v1/environments/{{envID}}/templates/{{templateName}}/contents/") { MaxTimeout = -1, };
