Create a PDF template

Create a template with its first revision; only name is required (optional id and revision_id, UUID v7).

Returns 201. - document_kind is commercial by default or transport-document for a transport control document (DeCA) template; it never changes, and a DeCA template accepts only branding, typography and colors. - A logo or brand image needs an effective brand; HTML, CSS, scripts, URLs and legal or bank data are rejected. - Company administrators only, with pdf_templates:write; supports Idempotency-Key.

Authorization

AuthorizationBearer <token>

Your API key as a bearer token: fact_live_… in production, fact_test_… in sandbox. See the authentication guide.

In: header

Path Parameters

company*string

Public identifier (UUID v7) of the company. Get it from GET /v1/me (data.scope[].id).

Formatuuid

Headers

Idempotency-Key?string

Client-generated opaque key (up to 255 characters; UUID v7 recommended) that makes retries safe: the first response is cached and replayed for repeats without re-executing the mutation. Reusing a key with a different body returns 422 idempotency_key_reused; the values of secret fields (password, secret…) count as part of the body, so retrying with a corrected secret under the same key is a different request, never the replay of the earlier answer. See the Idempotency guide.

Length1 <= length <= 255

Factuarea-Version?string

Pin the API version (YYYY-MM-DD, Stripe-style date versioning) for this request; omit to use the key's pinned version, or the latest if none. Unsupported version → 400 unsupported_api_version; malformed → 400 parameter_invalid_format. The effective version is echoed in the Factuarea-Version response header. See the Versioning guide.

Formatdate

Request Body

application/json

Internal reversible write: idempotency follows the current policy; a supplied key is replayed before CAS. Unknown fields are rejected. Until the company is prepared for revisioned templates (tenant initialization pending or revisioned rendering off) every library write returns 422 pdf_presentation_not_ready before any precondition or effect; reads stay available and no Retry-After applies.

TypeScript Definitions

Use the request body type in TypeScript.

id?string

Match^[0-9a-fA-F]{8}-[0-9a-fA-F]{4}-7[0-9a-fA-F]{3}-[89aAbB][0-9a-fA-F]{3}-[0-9a-fA-F]{12}$

Formatuuid

revision_id?string

Match^[0-9a-fA-F]{8}-[0-9a-fA-F]{4}-7[0-9a-fA-F]{3}-[89aAbB][0-9a-fA-F]{3}-[0-9a-fA-F]{12}$

Formatuuid

name*string

Length1 <= length <= 120

document_kind?string

Template kind: commercial (invoice, quote, pro forma and delivery note) or transport-document (transport control document, DeCA). It is fixed at creation and never changes. Defaults to commercial when omitted on create and returned on every template and revision.

Value in"commercial" | "transport-document"

description?|null

base_preset?string

Value in"classic" | "modern" | "minimal" | "corporative" | "premium"

configuration?

Partial structured template configuration: only the sections and fields to change, merged over the stored configuration. A write always stores the revision as schema_version 2: the new keys you omit take their default values (preset, separate, body, standard, m, empty texts, after_totals), which render exactly like a schema_version 1 configuration. Plain text only; description column remains visible. Fiscal content is enforced by the document renderer.
