Why use templates?
Scout leaders send many of the same types of email throughout the year — term welcome letters, camp reminders, event invitations, end-of-term roundups. Templates save you from writing the same email repeatedly.
Accessing templates
Navigate to Email in the sidebar and click the Templates tab.
Creating a template
- On the Templates tab, click to create a new template.
- Enter a subject line and compose the body using the rich text editor.
- Save the template.
Templates are shared across all leaders in your group, so the whole team benefits from well-crafted communications.
Using a template
When composing a new email:
- Open the template selector.
- Choose the template you want to use.
- The subject and body are inserted into your compose window.
- Customise the content as needed before sending.
Editing and managing templates
Click any template to edit its content. Update the subject or body and save. You can also delete templates you no longer need.
