## OpenAPI

````yaml /specs/external-integration-api.openapi.yaml patch /v1/businesses/{businessId}/sms/templates/{templateId}
openapi: 3.1.0
info:
  title: 1Funnel External Integration API
  version: 0.1.0-draft
  summary: External Integration API — Developer Preview (contract only, non-GA).
  description: |
    OpenAPI 3.1 for the **1Funnel External Integration API** (foundation through
    webhooks). Companion AsyncAPI documents outbound webhook event payloads.

    ## Status (read carefully)

    | Layer | Status |
    |-------|--------|
    | Architecture (Platform ADRs / STD-API-01) | Approved |
    | This OpenAPI document | **Developer Preview — contract only** (non-GA) |
    | Sandbox API host | Architecture **target** — not claimed operational |
    | Production API host | Architecture **target** — not claimed operational |

    This specification is published for integrator review. Documented endpoints
    and authentication services are **not** available for public integration.
    Sandbox and production availability will be announced separately. This is
    not general availability (ADR-011 DEC-5A-07 Preview API documentation).

    ## Authentication and authorization

    Callers authenticate with OAuth 2.0 Client Credentials
    (`client_secret_basic`) against the external authorization server
    (ADR-015, ADR-023). Access tokens must present audience
    `1funnel-external-api`.

    After token validation, every business-scoped operation requires:

    1. Valid application identity
    2. Active application-to-business grant for `{businessId}`
    3. Required resource permission (ADR-022)
    4. Resource ownership / isolation (ADR-016)

    `{businessId}` is a selector, not proof. OAuth scopes (when introduced) are
    coarse token vocabulary and are **not** the ADR-022 permission catalogue.
    Operations document required permissions with `x-required-permissions`.

    ## Servers and OAuth URLs

    API `servers` and OAuth token URLs are environment-specific architecture
    targets (ADR-023). OpenAPI cannot automatically switch the OAuth
    `tokenUrl` when a client selects a `servers` entry. See
    `x-1funnel-oauth` and the security scheme description.

      description: >
        OAuth 2.0 Client Credentials for the External Integration API (ADR-015,
        ADR-023).


        Client authentication: HTTP Basic (`client_secret_basic`).

        Access-token audience: `1funnel-external-api`.


        The `tokenUrl` below is the **production** target. Sandbox uses a
        different

        host. OpenAPI cannot bind `tokenUrl` to the selected `servers` entry;
        see

        `x-1funnel-oauth` on the root document and the authentication guide when
        published.


        Coarse OAuth scopes (if any) are token-level vocabulary (ADR-013 IA-06).
        They

        are **not** the ADR-022 resource permission catalogue. Resource
        permissions

        are enforced after token validation via application-to-business grants

        (ADR-016) and are documented per operation with
        `x-required-permissions`.


        These URLs are architecture targets. They are not claimed to be deployed
        or

        generally available.
      flows:
        clientCredentials:
          tokenUrl: https://auth.1-funnel.org/oauth2/token
          scopes: {}
