# List WhatsApp templates

Source: https://docs.vlayers.ai/reference/channels/list-whats-app-templates

`GET /v1/channels/whatsapp/templates` · scope `channels:read`

Returns the message templates Meta has approved for one of your WhatsApp senders, with their variables. Read only: sending templates is not available yet, so outside WhatsApp's 24-hour window you cannot message a person until they write to you again.

Requires an API key with the `channels:read` scope.

| Name | In | Type | Required | Description |
|---|---|---|---|---|
| `bindingId` | query | string | yes | The WhatsApp sender to read templates for (from `GET /v1/channels`). Example: `"0192f5a9-2b3c-7d4e-9f5a-6b7c8d9e0f12"` |
