Update a CRM document template
PATCH /v1/crm-document-templates/:id
Partially updates a CRM document template: pass only the fields you change at the root of the JSON. The template's other values are kept.
Parameters
| Parameter | Type | Required | Description |
|---|---|---|---|
id (path) |
number | yes | Template ID, a positive integer. List: GET /v1/crm-document-templates |
Request fields (body)
All fields are optional, but the body must contain at least one of them.
| Field | Type | Description |
|---|---|---|
name |
string | Template name |
file |
string | New .docx file as a base64 string, at most 2 MiB after decoding. Replaces the template file |
numeratorId |
number | ID of the numerator that assigns numbers to documents. The list of numerators is not exposed through /v1/... |
region |
string | Template region, for example uk |
entityTypeId |
array | Non-empty array of CRM record types, numbers or strings: 2 — deal, 3 — contact, 4 — company. Smart process types — GET /v1/smart-processes. Replaces the bindings entirely: [3] on a deal template leaves only the contact. Without the field, the bindings do not change |
users |
array | Non-empty array of access codes as strings: UA — all employees, U<id> — the employee with this ID from GET /v1/users |
active |
string | Whether the template is active: Y or N |
withStamps |
string | Stamps and signatures in documents: Y or N |
sort |
number | Sort index |
code |
string | Template symbolic code |
The fields id, fileId, moduleId, download, downloadMachine, isDeleted, isDefault, createTime, updateTime, createdBy, updatedBy, providers are read-only. A request with any of them is rejected with 400 READONLY_FIELD. Field names are matched case-insensitively and ignoring underscores: module_id and ModuleId are rejected too.

Error response example

"message": "CRM template not found."
}
}
Errors
| HTTP | Code | Description |
|---|---|---|
| 404 | ENTITY_NOT_FOUND |
No template with this id, or it is not a CRM template, for example an application template from the Document templates section |
| 400 | INVALID_PARAMS |
id is not a positive integer |
| 400 | MISSING_REQUIRED_FIELDS |
Empty body {} |
| 400 | INVALID_PARAMS |
users is an empty array or contains a value that is not a non-empty string |
| 400 | INVALID_PARAMS |
entityTypeId is an empty array, not an array, or contains a value that is neither a positive number nor a non-empty string |
| 400 | INVALID_PARAMS |
file is not a base64 string |
| 400 | INVALID_PARAMS |
The request body is not a JSON object |
| 400 | READONLY_FIELD |
The body contains a read-only field. The check runs before the template lookup, so this error is also returned for a nonexistent id |

The file is larger than 2 MiB after decoding file, or the JSON body is larger than 3 MiB |
| 429 | LARGE_BODY_BACKEND_BUSY |
The body is larger than 1 MiB and the platform is already processing the maximum volume of large bodies. Retry the request after Retry-After seconds |
| 422 | BITRIX_WRITE_NOT_APPLIED |
Bitrix24 did not save the passed entityTypeId or users. The other fields from the body are already written — read the template through GET /v1/crm-document-templates/:id before retrying |

Bitrix24 rejected the change. The reason text is in error.message |
| 403 | WRITE_BLOCKED_READONLY_KEY |
The key works in read-only mode |
| 403 | SCOPE_DENIED |
The key lacks the crm scope |
| 401 | TOKEN_MISSING |
