# Overview

The Template Management API offers a way to manage templates that can be used together with the Conversation API. Note that you may also use the Message Composer tool on the [Sinch Customer Dashboard](https://dashboard.sinch.com/convapi/message-composer) to [manage templates](https://community.sinch.com/t5/Conversation-API/How-do-I-use-Message-Composer-to-create-omni-channel-message/ta-p/9890).

One can view a template as a pre-defined message that can optionally contain some parameters to facilitate some customization of the pre-defined message. This feature can, for instance, be used to construct a generic customer welcome message where the customer's name can be injected via a parameter. It's also possible to provide translations to different languages when creating a template to make it possible to reuse one template for different languages.
