# Whatsapp Delete Template

DELETE https://api.agentphone.ai/integrations/whatsapp/{connection_id}/templates

Delete a template by name.

Meta removes EVERY language variant registered under the name, and blocks
reuse of that name for 30 days. There is no rename on Meta's side, so this
is also the only way to reclaim a name from a typo'd or rejected template.

Reference: https://docs.agentphone.ai/api-reference/whatsapp/delete-template-integrations-whatsapp-connection-id-templates-delete
