Email Templates | Administrator Guide | Zoho People 5.0

Email Templates

Email templates are pre-written, customizable formats that help save time and maintain consistency, especially when you need to send similar emails frequently. These templates typically include placeholders where you can insert personalized details (such as the recipient’s name, specific dates, or other unique information) and are commonly used to notify employees within an organization.

In Zoho People, email templates can be readily used in
  1. Workflow - Email alerts
  2. E-Sign Flow

  1. Welcome New Employee Email
  2. Employee Birthday Greeting Email
  3. Employee Probation Confirmation Notification
  4. Request Approved Notification
  5. Request Rejected Notification
