# Read the standing message rules

The standing rules this workspace has armed — each one "whenever this happens to a record of this kind, write from this template" — with the trigger event, the record kind it watches, the template it names, whether what it produces needs approving, which field carries the address, and whether it is switched on. `?channel=email|sms`. A rule is a standing instruction, never a message: nothing here says what was sent (`get_comms_texts`) or what is waiting to be approved (`get_message-drafts`).

Access class: `workspace`.
