Test /v2/messages/edit endpoint

Supports

PUT

No query parameters required

This endpoint doesn't expect data in the URL.

15-Minute Window

You can usually only edit messages within 15 minutes of sending. Plan your correction logic accordingly.

Best practices

Store the 'sentAt' timestamp to proactively manage the 15-minute edit window in your UI.
Use edits to update 'Status' messages instead of sending new messages for every state change.
Always handle 'message.edited' webhooks to keep your local CRM synced with the latest version of the text.
