Notes

  • id, type, and channel_type cannot be updated.
  • binding_status is system-maintained.
  • enabled=true only opens the manual switch. It does not change binding_status.
  • Updating identity_id or template_id may stop reusing existing conversation bindings; new inbound messages use the new binding.
