Creating and Managing Email Templates

Creating and Managing Email Templates

With email templates, you can save messages that don't change from time to time. You can reuse them anytime you want by changing or adding new information as required. In this article, we'll see how you can create and manage email templates. 

Creating Templates

To create a template:

  1. Go to the Templates folder.
  2. Click Create Template from the list view.
  3. In the Create Template composer, draft the template.
  4. Once it's ready, click Create.

Alternatively, you can also:

  1. Click New Mail from the app menu bar. 
  2. Compose the template in the Mail Composer.
  3. Click open the Save Draft drop-down menu, or click the drop-down icon next to the Saved @ <time> label. 
  4. Select Save as Template from the menu list. 

Refer to this section to learn how to create and apply categories for templates. 

Notes:

  • All your created templates will be stored in the Templates folder.

Alternatively, you can also:

To apply a different category:

  2. Select the desired category from the menu list. 

Note: You can apply multiple categories to a template. 

Applying Tags to Templates

You can associate the tags you've created with your email templates for easy identification. 

To apply a tag for a template:
