I have a Salesforce Service enabled Sandbox and I have created some messaging templates in Service Setup/Home/Channels/Messaging/Messaging Templates. I need to retrieve metadata related to those Templates to vs code using sfdx. How can I modify my package.xml to achieve that?

Since it seems that it is not supported by Metadata API, I have found a workaround, with Workbench I queried object Messaging Template:

SELECT DeveloperName,MasterLabel,Message FROM MessagingTemplate

Then in VS Code, exported that result as a JSON file and imported on my other sandbox.

sfdx force:data:tree:export -q "<SOQL query>" -d "<exported file path>"

sfdx force:data:tree:import -f "<exported file path>"

Add the MessagingTemplate object to your package:

<types>
  <members>*</members>
  <name>MessagingTemplate</name>
</types>

  • hahah, no problem. Still, now this: === WARNING: The following metadata isn’t in your org. If it’s not new, someone deleted it from the org. Entity type: 'MessagingTemplate' is unknown
