# Get email template

> <Info>This API is in beta. Endpoints, fields, and behavior may still change, so avoid depending on it in production.</Info>

Returns one of the app's email templates with its HTML.

An app's email templates are files in its code, in `base44/emails/`. The AI creates and edits them through [Send chat message](/api-reference/send-chat-message).

This is limited to 60 requests per minute per app for each workspace's personal API keys, so every key in a workspace shares one allowance. Some workspaces have a different limit.

<Note>This endpoint accepts a personal API key belonging to a user with access to the app. A read-only key is refused, and workspace API keys are not accepted.</Note>

<Warning>The response includes fields beyond the ones documented here. Don't rely on undocumented response fields, as they can change at any time.</Warning>
