Editing Your Template

When you select a template, you will see three tabs. Make sure you save any changes you make in the top right corner.

Do not change the alias of a template

Tabs Overview

  • Info: Contains the name of the template and the alias. Editing the alias will break the template.
  • Email: Most of the offered templates are email-only. Under the email tab, you will see a handlebar editor where you can edit the email and an email subject text field.
  • Text: If the template has a supported SMS component, you will see the text message under the text tab.

Configuring Your Template's Buttons

Some email templates include a button that takes you to a given UI. Once you have your UI stood up on the desired URL, you can edit the URL information in a given button to ensure it takes you to the right place.
