Where to find it

CRM > Templates

Steps

  1. Press Email template or Text template.
    Press Email template or Text template
    Press Email template or Text template
  2. Give it a name and pick what it is Used for.
  3. For email, write a Subject.
  4. Write the Message. Click a merge field below the box, such as First name or Your first name, to drop it where the cursor is.
  5. Add a fallback with a pipe, like {{contact.first_name|there}}, so a blank record still reads well.
  6. Pick a contact under Preview to see the message filled in for them.
  7. Press Save template.
    Write the subject and message, add merge fields, then Save template
    Write the subject and message, add merge fields, then Save template

Good to know

  • A text template holds up to 160 characters, which is one text.
  • The preview warns about blank fields, unknown fields and fields that are written wrong.
  • Use the chips All, Email, Text and Archived, plus the search box, to find templates.
  • Everyone on the account can read templates. Only the person who wrote one, or an account owner, can change it.
  • Archive keeps a template out of the way without deleting it. Deleting does not change anything already sent.
  • Brand Kit fields, like your licence number, are in the merge field list too.
