Set Included Areas for the Site landing.template.setSiteRef

If you are developing integrations for Bitrix24 using AI tools (Codex, Claude Code, Cursor), connect to the MCP server so that the assistant can utilize the official REST documentation.

Scope: landing

Who can execute the method: a user with "modify settings" access permission for the site

The method landing.template.setSiteRef saves the bindings of included areas for the site. It only works with site bindings and does not change the bindings of individual pages.

Method Parameters

Required parameters are marked with *

Name
type

Description

id*
integer

Site identifier.

The site identifier can be obtained using the landing.site.getList method.

data
object | array

A set of bindings for the included areas of the site (detailed description).

If the parameter is not provided or an empty object {} or array [] is passed, the method will remove all current bindings of included areas for this site.

Parameter data

Name
type

Description

<AREA_ID>
integer

Identifier of the page to be assigned to the corresponding included area.

The key is the identifier of the template area, and the value is the page identifier.

Area identifiers depend on the site template. They can be determined by the template, for example, through the landing.template.getlist method and the CONTENT field: in the markup, areas are denoted as #AREA_1#, #AREA_2#, and so on.

In data, only the numeric part of such an identifier should be passed: 1, 2. If a key is not provided for a saved area in data or if a value of 0, an empty string, null, or a negative number is passed, the binding will be removed.
