Email Templates lets you write an email once and reuse it for every reader. Placeholders such as {{recipientName}} and {{bookTitle}} are filled in each time you use the template.
Create a template
- Open Email Templates from the sidebar.
- Click + New Template.
- Give it a Name and pick a Category. Choose + New category… to make a new one.
- Write the Subject Template and the Body Template. To insert a placeholder, click {{ }} Variables in the toolbar and pick one from the list.
- Optional: fill in Default To Email if this template always goes to the same address.
- Click Create Template.
Before you save, you can check how the email looks. With an email account connected, click Send me a preview to get a copy in your own inbox. The subject starts with [Preview], the details come from your first book, and the reader is called Alex Reader. Without an email account, click Copy email instead.
Use a template
- Find the template. You can type in Search templates… to narrow the list.
- Click Use Template on its card.
- Fill in Recipient Name and Recipient Email.
- Pick a Book if the template uses a release date or sales links, and a Download file if it uses a download link.
- Fill in any other details the window asks for under This template also needs:.
- Click Send. You'll see a message saying who it was sent to.
If you haven't connected an email account, the button reads Copy to clipboard instead. The finished email is copied so you can paste it into your own email app. You can also choose Copy instead at any time.
Connect an email account
To send straight from the app, connect Gmail or a custom SMTP account in Settings under Email. If both are connected, choose which one to use in Send emails using.
