# Creating Email Message Template

You can add an email template by selecting the **Template** submenu under the **Email** menu. Creating a template will make it easier for you to send email broadcasts with the same message repeatedly.

Click the **Add Email Template** button to create a new template or select from the templates you’ve previously created.

Next, you will be directed to the template creation page, which provides the **Components** and **Settings** menus.&#x20;

**Components** are items that you can select and insert by dragging and dropping them onto the template page you are creating.

If you want your message to feel more personal, you can add variables to the body of your email. Variables are dynamic content that can change according to recipient information, such as their name, bill amount, or customer number. To use them, write the variable name in the body of the message with square brackets (\[) at the beginning and (\[) at the end of the variable.

You can go to the **Settings** tab to adjust the colors and margin appearance of the email.
