# Creating and Using Email Templates

> Save time by creating reusable email templates in Flowforth. Learn how to create, save, and apply templates.

Flowforth allows you to create reusable email templates so you can save time and keep your designs consistent across campaigns. Templates are also used as the content source for [automation](/automations/builder/send-email) emails.

***

## Template Types

Just like emails, templates come in three types:

* **Standard** — Uses the drag-and-drop editor with blocks, columns, and full styling
* **Simple** — Uses the lightweight rich text editor for personal-feeling messages
* **HTML** — Uses the HTML code editor for full control over your design

When creating a new template, you’ll choose the type that matches the kind of email you want to build.

## How to Create a Template

You have multiple ways to create a template:

### 1. From the Templates Page

* Go to **Emails → Templates** from the sidebar
  or visit [https://flowforth.co/emails/templates](https://flowforth.co/emails/templates)
* Click **New Template**, choose a type (Standard, Simple, or HTML), give it a name, and you’ll be taken to the editor.
* Any changes you make in the editor are **auto-saved** as the template.

### 2. From the Sidebar

* Click **Create New** in the sidebar and select **Template**
* Choose the template type, give it a name, and start editing

### 3. From the Email Editor (While Composing)

* While editing an email, click the **Templates** button in the left sidebar.
* Click the **Save icon**, give your template a name, and it will be saved.

### 4. From a Sent Email

* Open the sent email.
* Click the **three dots (⋯)** in the top-right corner.
* Click **Save as Template**, give it a name, and save.

### 5. From the Emails Table

* Go to the [Emails page](https://flowforth.co/emails).
* Click the **three dots (⋯)** next to the email you want to save.
* Select **Save as Template**, give it a name, and save.

## How to Apply a Template

There are two ways to apply a saved template:

### 1. When Creating a New Email

* Create a **New Email**.
* In the new email popup, click **My Templates**
* Select the template you want to use

### 2. From Within the Email Editor

* Click the **Templates** button in the sidebar
* Search and click the template you want
* Click **Apply**

You’ll be given two options:

* **Apply Full Template** (default): This will replace the current content with the template’s layout and blocks
* **Apply Style Only**: This will keep your content but apply the template’s font, colors, and spacing

***

## How to Delete a Template

You can delete a template in two ways:

* **From the template editor**: Open the template, click the **trash icon** next to Template Settings, and confirm.
* **From the templates table**: Click the **three dots (⋯)** next to the template and select **Delete**.

<Note>
  If the template is used in any email automations, you will have to remove it
  from those automations first before you can delete the template.
</Note>

Using templates helps your team stay consistent and speeds up the process of creating new emails.
