## Endpoint

`POST https://api.gtx.dev/v2/context-groups/{groupId}/custom-prompts`

**Operation ID:** `upsertContextCustomPrompts`

**Tags:** `Custom prompts`

**Summary:** Upsert custom prompts

Creates or updates 1–100 prompts, each matched by name and locale, in one atomic batch. Requires `org:context:write`.

Authentication: required. Send an API key in the `Authorization: Bearer <key>` header when authenticating.

### Parameters

- `groupId` (path, string, required): Context group ID.
- `gt-api-version` (header, "2026-10-08.v1", optional): API contract version. Defaults to the oldest supported version.

### Request body (required)

Body (`application/json`, object): An absent field keeps its stored value. `null` clears a nullable field or removes a map entry; other fields reject `null`. In batches and imports, items match stored items by natural key, stored items absent from the batch are untouched, and nothing else is deleted. A blank CSV cell counts as absent.

  - `name` (string, required)
  - `locale` (string | null, required): Locale the prompt applies to; null applies it to every locale.
  - `value` (string, required)
  - `description` (string | null): null clears the description.
