# Templates

The Templates API allows you to create and manage WhatsApp message templates through the Taqnyat API.

Message templates are used for business-initiated communication and must be approved before they can be used to send messages.

Use the following endpoints to create new templates, retrieve existing templates, and delete templates when needed.
