PUT /sms/drafts/{draftId}

Save a draft

Scopesms:write

PUT, because you name the resource: the request is idempotent and safe to send on a keystroke timer, where two saves racing is the normal case rather than an edge case.

An empty message is legal — it is how you store "the user cleared the box" without deleting the draft.

Errors

StatusMeaning
400invalid_request — a missing or malformed field, an unknown enum value, or an unknown field in the body. Nothing was charged.
401unauthenticated — no credential, or one that is invalid, revoked or expired. The WWW-Authenticate header names the scope the endpoint wanted.
403Two different failures share this status, and the type tells them apart:
500internal_error — something failed on our side. For a send, nothing was charged, guaranteed, which is what makes a retry safe.

See Errors for the full catalog and what to do about each.
