Using Email Templates

This page demonstrates how to use an Email Template for both single and bulk email recipients.

You can also refer to Creating Templates and Using Templates to learn more about when and how you can use and create Email Templates and our general help page on Emails.

Send a single Email

To send an email using an Email Template you’ve created, go to a record in any of the supported modules in CRM and click on the Email button and then select your Email Template.

2. Click on the Email button to reveal the area where your email is composed.
3. Click on the Templates drop-down field to show a list of available Templates.
4. If you want to add a Letter Template as an attachment to the email, you can select one from the Letters drop-down field.
5. Select your Template and it will automatically populate all fields.
6. Click Send.
7. The email will then appear in the Timeline area of the Contact record.
