Communication Templates are a great tool to use for quick replies, bulk email campaigns, out of office messages, and streamlining processes.

Columns create placeholders for content in your template. You can drag and drop content into a specific column to increase readability. Click + hold on the Columns icon to drag over to the Content area. Choose the number and size of columns (Note: decreasing columns will deploy a Delete pop-up confirmation). You can also find column placeholders under Blocks.
Within the Content tab, you can add different objects that will help you develop a message that your recipients will appreciate.

Similar to dragging and dropping a column, you can drag and drop a block. Simply choose the block placeholder you prefer and drag into the content area. Column properties will appear on the right once the block has been dropped. You can continue to edit the block in the same way as the columns.

Under this tab, you'll find ways to customize your template to match your branding or to coordinate with the email topic (ex: Red and green for Christmas). These settings apply to the whole template. You can change the font of each text box by clicking on the text to adjust those settings manually. Click on the 2 arrows in the bottom right of the image to see it in fullscreen.

If you would like to use stock images from the Image gallery, it's simple to add. Click on Images in the right navigation bar. A search panel will appear. Type in the topic of the image you would like and hit Enter on your keyboard. Images will populate. Choose the best one and drag and drop it into the appropriate placeholder. Clicking on the image will open up Image Properties. You can click on Apply Effects to edit the image. You can also set the image to be a clickable link under Actions, choose its alignment, and adjust padding.
Images
Upload your own images and drag and drop into a placeholder. You'll also find any uploaded images as well as any edited stock images for the template in this panel view.
