3. Copy and paste your existing email template to the document, or write up an email that you would like to create a template with.
4. On the Template Designer, identify the fields that you need to add to the template:
Contact = Main Client.
Contact Custom = Custom fields added to the contact section.
Global = Today’s date.
File = File related fields.
Bill = Financial information.
5. To add a field to your document, place your cursor where you want the field to appear and click the field on the Template Designer.
7. When finished, save the document.
Uploading Email Templates to Thread
Once you have created and coded an email template, upload it to the Template Desk on Thread so it can be used when sending emails.
1. Select the Template Desk on the left pane and click Create and Edit.
2. In the categories drop-down box, select Email Template.
3. Create a new doc by clicking New or click the box shown to upload the email template you have created.
