Search for Email Templates

This API has been available since 1.45.0

This API is used to search for Email Templates and may be called using the GET or POST HTTP methods. Examples of each are provided below. The POST method is provided to allow for a richer request object without worrying about exceeding the maximum length of a URL. Calling this API with either the GET or POST HTTP method will provide the same search results given the same query parameters.

Request#

Global API Key Authentication
Search for Email Templates
GET/api/email/template/search?name={name}

Request Parameters#

nameStringoptional

The case-insensitive string to search for in the Email Template name. This can contain wildcards using the asterisk character (*). If no wildcards are present, the search criteria will be interpreted as *value*.

numberOfResultsIntegeroptionalDefaults to 25

The number of results to return from the search.

orderByStringoptionalDefaults to name ASC

The database field to order the search results as well as an order direction.

The possible values are:

  • id - the unique Id of the Email Template
  • insertInstant - the instant when the Email Template was created
  • name - the Email Template name

The order direction is optional. Possible values of the order direction are ASC or DESC. If omitted, the default sort order is ASC.

For example, to order the results by the insert instant in a descending order, use insertInstant DESC.

startRowIntegeroptionalDefaults to 0

The offset into the total results. In order to paginate the results, increment this value by the numberOfResults for subsequent requests.

For example, if the total search results are greater than the page size designated by numberOfResults, set this value to 25 to retrieve results 26-50, assuming the default page size.
