support.canned_reply.updated
A saved reply's title, body, shortcut or position changes.
One save is one event, and changes lists only the fields that actually
differ. A save that changes nothing — the dashboard's Update Reply with no
edits, or a PATCH that re-sends the stored values — emits nothing.
When this fires
A creator edits an existing saved reply and at least one of title, body, shortcut or sort_order is different afterwards:
- Dashboard — Saved Replies → edit → Update Reply from the support inbox.
- REST —
PATCH /v1/projects/{project}/support/canned-replies/{reply}. Fields you omit keep their stored value. - MCP — the
update_canned_replytool.
It does not fire when:
- Nothing changed. The action compares before and after and skips the event when the two match.
- The snippet is inserted into a conversation. Using a saved reply is composing a message, and the message raises
support.message.sent. - The edit is rejected — a
shortcutalready used by another snippet on the project, or a body outside its 2–4000 character limits — nothing is written.

Caveats
- The snapshot never carries the body, but
changes.bodydoes when the body is what changed —fromandtohold the full old and new text. This is the creator's own template text, not a member's message, so the family's rule that member text never enters a delivery log still holds. If you would rather not receive it, it only appears on edits to the body itself. changescan reportbody, which the snapshot omits, and the snapshot carriesid, whichchangesnever does. Use both halves:canned_replyfor the current state,changesfor what to diff.- Reordering snippets in the dashboard can raise one event per snippet whose
sort_ordermoved. Expect a burst withchanges: { sort_order: … }and nothing else.
