Creating Custom Email Templates
Overview
Custom email templates allow you to quickly load a pre-created layout for an outgoing message when composing an email.
Creating a Custom Template
To create a custom template:
- Go to "Integration > Email Templates"
- In the secondary navigation, click on "Create Custom Template"
- The "Create Custom Email Template" popup will appear with two tabs: "Template" and "Options".
Template Tab
The template tab allows you to create the actual email message. Note that custom e-mail templates do NOT use the standard header and footer that is used on other templates, so you will need to design the email from scratch.
Field | Description |
---|---|
Title | Reference title for the template. |
Subject | Default subject for the template. This is only used when composing specific types of emails. |
Message | The textbox in which you can compose the body of the template. |
Accessibility | "Public" means that any employee can use it, "Private" means only the employee creating the template can use it. |
Options Tab
Click here for details on the fields found in this tab.
Using a Custom Template
When Sending Emails
Once you have created the template, you can begin using it when composing messages. For example, from the e-mail composition slider, you can click on the "Load Template" link to select the newly created template. Doing this will autopopulate the body of the message you are sending with the template's content.
When Creating Event Reminders
Event reminders rely on preset templates to determine what is sent to event attendees. Therefore you will need to create a custom template for each reminder before creating the reminders/followups.
