Create a new message template and submit it to Meta for review. The request body is components-only (mirrors Meta’s message_templates create shape). For IMAGE/VIDEO/DOCUMENT headers, supply example.header_url with a public https:// URL — Kirimdev uploads the sample to Meta on your behalf — or a Meta asset handle in example.header_handle. On success the template is persisted with status: "pending"; Meta reviews asynchronously, so poll GET /{phone_number_id}/templates/{name} (or re-run POST .../templates/sync) for the eventual approved / rejected transition. A duplicate name+language pair returns 409 template_already_exists.
