How to manage templates

With SendPulse, you can create adaptive templates to notify your subscribers about an event or send other useful information via email.

You can also create template folders to organize them by specific labels. For example, you can keep all emails related to ordering a product on your site in a separate folder or use them to send out emails about upcoming events and promotions.

In this article, we will look at how to create and work with templates and folders.

Working with templates

Create a template

You can create a template in the Email templates tab or in the Message Content section when creating a campaign and in the Email element when creating automation.

Go to the Email templates tab, and click Add Template.

Move a template to a folder

Edit a template

Go to the Email templates tab, and select Edit Template from the menu next to the desired template name.

Note that when you create an email campaign or an Email element in A360, a copy of the template is created in the email campaign builder. If you edit a template in Automations, it does not change in the template builder.

Conversely, if you edit a template in the template builder, it does not change in the email campaign builder or Automations. You will need to cancel the scheduled email campaign and create a new one. You will need to delete the template in the Email element in Automations and add the changed copy.

Delete a template

Click on the arrow next to the template name, and choose Delete template from the context menu.

Please note that deleting a template in the template builder does not remove an email based on it from the scheduled campaign or the Email element in Automations.
