# `bird whatsapp templates`

## Usage

```bash
bird whatsapp templates
```

## Description

A template is what WhatsApp lets you send outside an open 24-hour customer service
window, and only an approved one is deliverable. Each template holds versions, and each
version holds one entry per language, so what actually sends is a language of a version.

Reads return JSON; list is paginated. Mutations take flags and/or a --body-file JSON body (flags overriding); run --example to print the body shape or --dry-run to preview the request. Destructive commands require --yes.
