Replace a draft
Replaces a saved draft in full. Drafts are replaced rather than patched: there is no coherent way to merge two versions of a message body.
Permission
The key must be granted mail.messages.write
A key without it gets 403 insufficient_scope, with the missing permission named in details.

Request body
PUT, so this replaces the draft entirely. Anything you leave out is cleared, because there is no coherent way to merge two versions of a message body.
| Field | Type | Description |

Request
curl https://api.veruapis.com/v1/drafts/:id \
-X PUT \
-H "Authorization: Bearer vak_live_..." \
-H "Idempotency-Key: $(uuidgen)"
Idempotency-Key is required on every write. Retrying with the same key returns the original response rather than repeating the operation, so a timeout is something you retry rather than something you investigate.
Response
{
"data": { ... },
"meta": { "request_id": "req_01j8z9...", "timestamp": "2026-09-02T10:00:00Z" }
}

Every failure uses the same shape, with a stable string code you can branch on. See the error reference.
