Email templates define a standard look for Email correspondence that can be customized for individual messages.

The Templates object stores email templates used in Campaigns and in general correspondence.

For other kinds of templates, see Templates (disambiguation)

Templates are created using an online editor, or by pasting in HTML created in an external editor.

Templates can also include variables to information so you can personalize each email that goes out.

Use Template Variables to personalize email templates:

From any template editor, Click the Show Template Fields link.
The Template Variable Tool pops up.
Select a category and a field.
The name for the field appears in the Variable column. (For example:$Customer.discount.)
Copy the variable name, close the popup, and insert the variable into your template.

For a list of Template Variables, see: Template Variables in Email Templates

Create Personalized Merge Fields in custom email templates.
