Make communication faster, more consistent, and personalized with Dynamic Email Templates. Whether you're sending campaign invitations, reminders, or thank-you messages, our templates save you time and reduce errors — all while keeping your message on-brand and on point.
✨ What Are Dynamic Email Templates?
Dynamic Email Templates allow admins to preconfigure reusable email messages for different scenarios (invites, reminders, thank-you emails, etc.). These templates include smart placeholders (e.g., {{campaign-title}}
) that automatically fill in details based on the selected campaign, group selection, or other tool.
Where Can You Use Them?
You can use Dynamic Email Templates in:
Campaigns (e.g., invitation, reminder, thank-you)
Group Selections (e.g., invite to score ideas, reminder, thank-you)
Idea Funnels (e.g., thank-you message, enrichment request, status update)
Project Lanes (e.g., status updates, congratulations, notifications)
📌 Only users with Admin or Super Admin roles can manage templates.
⚡ Useful Scenarios by Tool
Here are some examples of how and when to use Dynamic Email Templates:
