Update the template
PATCH
https://forumulate.com/api /orgs/{orgId}/spaces/{spaceId}/status/templates/{templateId} Requires token scope: write (the coarse method gate) for Atlas key (ak_), Personal Access Token (cft_) or OAuth (cfo_) auth — in addition to any catalog scope (GET /pats/scopes) the route’s capability needs. Session/cookie auth is governed by RBAC capabilities instead.
Parameters
orgIdstringpathrequiredspaceIdstringpathrequiredtemplateIdstringpathrequiredforumulate-versionstringheaderAPI version negotiation. Send
forumulate-version: 2026-12-01 on every request from a new integration; it is optional only so that integrations written before versioning keep working. Each version includes everything before it:Idempotency-KeystringheaderMakes this write safe to retry. Optional — send any unique string (a UUID is ideal) and the first request runs while its response is remembered under that key for 24 hours; an identical retry replays that same status and body instead of acting twice, so a timeout or a 5xx from the edge can be retried without creating a second row. A retry sent while the first request is still in flight is refused with
409. The key is scoped to the method and path, so the same key on a different endpoint is a different request. Error responses of 5xx are never cached — those retries re-run. A key is bound to the BODY it was first used with: reusing it with a different body is a 409 idempotency.key_reused, not a replay, because replaying would tell you a write landed that never ran. Generate one key per request, never per process or per session.Request body application/json
namestringWhat you call it in the picker — "Database failover".
titlestringThe title of the incident it opens, as readers see it.
severitystringstatestringThe state the incident opens in. Default
investigating.bodyobjectThe write-up as a block document — or as a Markdown string. Or send
markdown.markdownstringThe body as Markdown (CommonMark + tables/task lists), converted server-side. Alternative to
content. Blocks beyond plain Markdown (callouts, tabs, cards, steppers, columns, buttons, …) are written as :::name{attrs} directives — every directive, its attributes and how it closes: GET /docs/markdown-dialect. Up to 2,000,000 characters of Markdown — the same ceiling the importer, the create and the update doors all use, so an imported page can always be written back.componentsobject[]The components this incident affects, each with its impact. While the incident is open each one reads at least that state, and the days it spans take that colour on the component’s bars. Sent, it replaces the set;
[] clears it.Show child parameters
