Email Template
An email template is a reusable message skeleton with merge fields for personalization — the base layer that AI personalization and sequencer logic build on top of.
What is an email template?
An email template is a stored message body with placeholders ({{first_name}}, {{company}}, {{custom_intro}}) that get filled at send time. Templates standardize structure across the team; merge fields and AI-generated snippets handle the per-prospect personalization.
Why it matters
- Lets reps send consistently good copy without rewriting every message
- Combined with AI-generated openers, templates enable mass personalization
- Performance can be tracked at template level — kill what underperforms
What separates a great template from a forgettable one
- One specific reason this prospect, today (the personalization)
- Conversational tone, no jargon, no "I hope this finds you well"
- Single clear CTA, low ask in the first message
- Mobile-friendly — most opens are mobile
