# Get a Pending Send

> Fetch one held send; poll it until it is approved.

Returns one pending send with the fields described in [Hold a Send for Approval](/api-reference/v2/pending-sends/create). Poll it while `status` is `pending`; once it is `approved`, call [send](/api-reference/v2/pending-sends/send). A `rejected` send carries the approver's `decision_reason`; an `expired` one lapsed 24 hours after it was held.

If the status is `unknown_execution`, inspect `execution.messages` for publication acknowledgements and message status evidence. Reads can reconcile to `sent` only when every recipient has positive publication evidence or an explicit recorded refusal before publication. A recovered mixed batch preserves its exact `result.queued_count`, `result.error_count`, and indexed `result.errors`; refusal details are not included in `execution.messages`. Missing or uncertain evidence never authorizes replay. Keep using this pending ID for reconciliation.
