Template Variables
You can use variables in your template's subject and body. These variables are automatically replaced when you apply the template in the compose window:
| Variable | Replaced with |
|---|---|
{name} | The recipient's name |
{email} | The recipient's email address |
{date} | Today's date |
Example
Template body:

Thank you for your email. I will review it and get back to you shortly.
Best regards
When applied to a message addressed to "Alice Smith", the {name} variable will be replaced with "Alice Smith".
