Add a template version

⚠️

Preview — this feature is being built; the design below is the spec.

POST https://app.syntic.ai/v1/prompts/templates/{template}/versions

Save new text as the next version. Versions are immutable; labels do not move automatically, so production keeps its version until you move the label.

For how this fits into a full workflow, see Prompt templates.

Headers

Header	Required	Value
`Authorization`	Yes	`Bearer <key>`: a private inference key (`sk_live_...`). See Authentication.
`syntic-beta`	Yes, while in preview	`prompt-tools-2026-12-01`. Without it the call fails with `400 beta_required`. See Versioning.
`Content-Type`	Yes	`application/json`
`Idempotency-Key`	No	Up to 255 characters. Retrying with the same key within 24 hours returns the first result instead of acting twice. See Idempotency.

Path parameters

Parameter	Type	Description
`template`	string	The template name or id.

Body parameters

Parameter	Type	Required	Notes
`messages`	array	Yes
`model`	string	No
`note`	string	No	Why it changed, up to 500 characters.

Response

Errors

Errors use the error envelope and carry a request_id. Codes specific to this operation:

Status	`type`	`code`	When
400	`invalid_request_error`	`beta_required`	The `syntic-beta` header is missing.
404	`not_found_error`	`prompt_template_not_found`	No template with this name or id.
401	`authentication_error`	`invalid_api_key`	The key is missing, unknown, revoked or expired.
429	`rate_limit_error`	`rate_limited`	Too many requests; wait for `Retry-After`. See Rate-limit headers.
