# Bot Template Get

> List WhatsApp message templates created on a bot via the ChatSyncs API, including approval status and template JSON. Use when a developer asks how to programmatically check template approval status or pull a template's structure.

Returns the WhatsApp message templates created on a bot, including their approval status and
underlying template JSON.

<Tip>
  See [Message Templates](/learn/whatsapp-message-templates) for how templates are created and
  approved in the dashboard, and
  [Template Approval & Rejections](/meta-api/templates/template-approval-and-rejections) for what
  each status means.
</Tip>

<Note>
  The response includes two different ID-looking fields: **`id`** (a short internal ChatSyncs
  number, e.g. `48`) and **`template_id`** (a long Meta-assigned number, e.g.
  `437509121867805`). When sending a template with
  [Send Template Message](/developer-api/whatsapp/send-template-message), use the value shown in
  your dashboard's template generator for `template_id` — if you're unsure which field that
  corresponds to here, the **API Developer Console → Send Text Message** generator (see
  [Send Template Message](/developer-api/whatsapp/send-template-message)) is the authoritative
  source.
</Note>
