Update Template

PUThttps://api.confident-ai.com/v2/report-templates/{reportTemplateId}

Updates a report template and returns it. Only the fields you send are changed, and templateSections replaces the whole list. Set enabled to false to pause generation, or send cadence fields to retime it.

Headers

CONFIDENT_API_KEYstringRequired
The API key of your Confident AI project.

Path parameters

reportTemplateIdstringRequired
The id of the report template.

Request body

namestring
The template's new name, also used as the report's title.
descriptionstring | null
The question the report should answer, which drives what data the generator retrieves. Send null to clear it.
templateSectionslist of objects
The report's exact sections, in render order. The list replaces the template's current sections, so a section you leave out is removed; omit the field to leave them alone.
Show 7 propertiesHide 7 properties
- idstring
  The id of the section. Send the id a section was read back with to keep its creation time across a rewrite; omit it and Confident AI assigns one.
- typeenumRequired
  What a section renders as. STAT_CARDS, TABLE and GRAPH must be AI-authored; CONTENT and ADMONITION can be either AI-authored or hardcoded.
  Show 5 enum valuesHide 5 enum values
  - CONTENT
  - STAT_CARDS
  - TABLE
  - GRAPH
  - ADMONITION
- headingstring | null
  The heading rendered above the section. Omit it for an unheaded section.
- useAIboolean
  Whether the generator authors this section from prompt. Defaults to false, which renders content verbatim instead.
- promptstring | null
  Required when useAI is true: a single directive for what this section must cover.
- contentobject | null
  The static content of a hardcoded (non-AI) template section. Null for AI-authored sections, which are written by the generator from their prompt.
  Show 2 propertiesHide 2 properties
  - textstring | null
    The section's literal text, written verbatim into every generated report.
  - severityenum | null
    The callout style of an ADMONITION section, from an informational note to a danger warning.
    Show 4 enum valuesHide 4 enum values
    INFO
    SUCCESS
    WARNING
    DANGER
- startOnNewPageboolean
  Whether the section starts on a new page in the exported report. Defaults to false.
enabledboolean
Whether scheduled generation runs. False pauses it while keeping past reports readable. A schedule that has hit its maxRuns or endAt can only be re-enabled by a request that also raises or clears them.
recurrenceenum
How often a schedule fires: ONCE runs a single time at startAt, INTERVAL repeats every repeatEvery repeatUnits.
Show 2 enum valuesHide 2 enum values
- ONCE
- INTERVAL
repeatEveryinteger | null
How many repeatUnits apart the runs are, for an INTERVAL schedule. Send null to clear it.
repeatUnitenum | null
The unit repeatEvery counts for an INTERVAL schedule.
Show 5 enum valuesHide 5 enum values
- MINUTE
- HOUR
- DAY
- WEEK
- MONTH
startAtstring | null
When the schedule first runs, as an ISO 8601 datetime. Send null to start it immediately.
maxRunsinteger | null
How many times the schedule runs before it stops. Send null to let it run indefinitely.
endAtstring | null
When the schedule stops running, as an ISO 8601 datetime. Send null to leave it open-ended.

Response

Update Template succeeded.

successboolean
Indicates if the request was successful.
dataobject
A recurring report definition, generated on the schedule you set — every 1 day unless you say otherwise.

  The id of the report template, generated by Confident AI.
- namestring
  The template's name, also used as the report's title.
- descriptionstring | null
  The question the generated report answers, which drives what data the generator retrieves.

  - RISK_ASSESSMENT_REPORT
  - EXECUTIVE_REPORT
- enabledboolean
  Whether scheduled generation is running. A disabled template generates nothing.

  When a report template generates, and how far it has got: the cadence you set, plus the read-only progress against it.
