Get the parameters and variables used by the template's published content in one language. The result describes the template and holds no saved values. Parameters are the names a broadcast supplies in template.parameters, and variables are the bird. references Bird fills in. The result identifies list values, which broadcast parameters cannot supply. It also includes a fingerprint that identifies the published content without exposing contact values. You cannot select an older template version. Requires email_marketing read permission in addition to email_management read. Parameter sites cover template subject, HTML and text; envelope overrides are checked by broadcast validation.

Parameters

template_refstring

Workspace template ID, workspace template slug, or built-in template slug.

Query Parameters

languagestring

Language of the template's published content. Omission uses the template's default language.

Response Payload

template_id
string
required

The template that was read.

observed_version_id
string
required

The published template version that was read.

requested_language
string

The language requested with language. Absent when none was requested and the published version's default language is used.

effective_language
string
required

The language whose content was read.

requirements_fingerprint
string
required

An opaque value that changes when this content or the parameters and variables it uses change, including for built-in templates whose version ID stays the same. Compare it with an earlier value to tell whether they are still the same. Do not parse it.

parameters
array of object
required

The parameters the broadcast supplies, sorted by name.

Show child attributes
parameters.name
string
required

The parameter name to use as a key in template.parameters.

parameters.type
string
required

The value type the template declares for a parameter. A broadcast can still supply any scalar value; see value_domain.

  • text: any value. A parameter the template uses without declaring it is reported as a required text parameter.
  • code: 4 to 8 digits.
  • ttl: a whole number from 1 to 999.
  • count: a whole number from 1 to 999.
  • ref: up to 16 uppercase letters, digits or hyphens.
  • date: an ISO 8601 date (YYYY-MM-DD).
  • date_time: an ISO 8601 date and time, with an optional offset.
  • amount: a decimal amount in major units, with up to 4 decimal places.
  • currency: an ISO 4217 currency code of 3 uppercase letters.

Possible values (may grow over time): text, code, ttl, count, ref, date, date_time, amount, currency

parameters.value_domain
string
required

The shape of value a broadcast may supply for a parameter, independent of the declared type.

  • scalar: a string, number, boolean or null, used as given.

Possible values (may grow over time): scalar

parameters.required
boolean
required

Whether the template declares the parameter required.

parameters.sensitive
boolean

Whether the template marks the parameter sensitive. A broadcast cannot supply a sensitive parameter that its content uses.

parameters.use_constraints
array of object
required

Each place the content uses the parameter.

Show child attributes
variables
array of object
required

The bird. variables Bird fills in, sorted by path.
