## Properties
<a name="aws-properties-pinpoint-campaign-template-properties"></a>

`Name`  <a name="cfn-pinpoint-campaign-template-name"></a>
The name of the message template to use for the message. If specified, this value must match the name of an existing message template.  
*Required*: No  
*Type*: String  
*Update requires*: [No interruption](https://docs.aws.amazon.com/AWSCloudFormation/latest/UserGuide/using-cfn-updating-stacks-update-behaviors.html#update-no-interrupt)

`Version`  <a name="cfn-pinpoint-campaign-template-version"></a>
The unique identifier for the version of the message template to use for the message. If specified, this value must match the identifier for an existing template version. To retrieve a list of versions and version identifiers for a template, use the [Template Versions](https://docs.aws.amazon.com/pinpoint/latest/apireference/templates-template-name-template-type-versions.html) resource.  
If you don't specify a value for this property, Amazon Pinpoint uses the *active version* of the template. The *active version* is typically the version of a template that's been most recently reviewed and approved for use, depending on your workflow. It isn't necessarily the latest version of a template.
