Publish Flow
Publishes the Flow on Meta. IRREVERSIBLE: a published Flow is never edited or unpublished again — it can only be cloned into a new one (POST /v1/flows with cloneFromFlowId).
confirm: true is required, strictly. The check is === true, so "true", 1 and {} are all refused: the cost of accepting too little is a 400, the cost of accepting too much is a Flow nobody can unpublish. Without the field the answer is 400 FLOW_PUBLISH_REQUIRES_CONFIRMATION.
A truncated body is not read as an empty one — the payload is parsed from raw text so {"confirm": true (one missing brace) is 400 FLOW_BODY_INVALID rather than a confusing “confirmation required”. Never reachable through PATCH. Permission flows:manage.
Requires a number-scoped key. A tenant-scoped key must name the number with the x-whatsapp-number-id header, or it gets 403 TENANT_SCOPE_NOT_ALLOWED.
