# `bird email templates broadcasts`

## Usage

```bash
bird email templates broadcasts
```

## Description

A template cannot be deleted while a broadcast is scheduled or waiting to start, because
those two have not pinned their content yet. This is the reverse lookup that names them.
Canceling clears either status; repointing at another template works only while it is
`scheduled`, because an `accepted` one refuses an edit.

Reads return JSON; list is paginated.
