Introduction:

Templates is a way to create pre-existing tasks, custom actions, texts, and emails that you can then use to create or send to any of your Opportunities at any given time. This will help you become more efficient in sending introduction text messages for example, so you do not have to type the message every time. Instead, you save the message as a template and send it to sellers whenever you need to. Or if there is a custom action that you always create, you can save it in Templates, and that way, you no longer have to create the custom action every time.

This guide will cover:

• How to create task templates
• How to create custom action templates
• How to create text templates
• How to create email templates
