messages

Create Group From Template

Create a group from a pre-configured template.

Sets the title + description from the template (or title_override if provided), invites the caller's chosen usernames, and pins the template's starter message (if any) so every member opens the room to an explainer.

All the same constraints as the regular create endpoint apply: 50-member cap, dm-eligibility per invitee, etc.
