Email templates allow you to quickly pull in messaging that can be sent to one or a group of contacts in your database. Crelate's email templates allow you to pull in mail merge fields (such as "Contacts First Name") to easily allow you to generate personal responses to the contact that you are emailing.

To start, select your navigation menu and select "Manage Your Profile & Preferences"

Afterwards, you'll want to navigate to the My Templates section followed by the plus sign.

After making that selection, the New Email Template dialogue will appear. You can type the subject and body of the email template, as well as indicate the From and To. When editing the Subject and Body, you can use predetermined slugs, or "Mail Merge" fields, that will automatically fill in information depending on the email recipient and sender. (For example, Contact's First Name). For the To and From line, you'll have control over which user will be sending the email as well as who should receive it (such as "Contact's Primary Email").

Note: You will need to ensure you have text before the Insert Data Field in order for the format of the font type to match the rest of your email.

When creating a template you will also have the option to share with other users (#2 below) and tag your templates (#1 below). In the middle of the screen will appear a slider option to share with your team or keep the template private.

You’ll have the option to categorize each template by utilizing Tags. Template Tags allow you to manage and find your template easily from a contact record. You’ll see each template listed under “All” and will have the ability to filter down by specific tag category.

When sending an email, frequently used templates will appear on the right. You can also click on More Templates to use tags to filter to the template that you want.

To start, select your navigation menu and select "Manage Your Profile & Preferences".

Afterward, you'll want to navigate to the My Templates section and double-click on the template you would like to Edit.

Lastly, once the template opens, you can make the desired edits and Save.

With your templates created, see how you can send individual and campaign emails!
