# `bird email templates get`

## Usage

```bash
bird email templates get <template-ref> [flags]
```

## Description

Read one template's metadata: the state of every language it holds, the languages it can send today, the draft revision, and its draft and published version ids. It carries no content (read a version's language for that). Accepts a workspace template id (`emt_…`) or a built-in `system` template's `bird_` slug.

## Examples

```bash
bird email templates get <template-ref>
bird email templates get <template-ref> -f text
# find an id to pass
bird email templates list
```
