Templates

Email templates help you build a reusable library of branded email layouts. Once saved, you can use them while creating broadcasts or sequence emails.

This feature is currently in beta, which means you may encounter bugs. Please report them in our Discord group if you run into any issues.

Before you start: If your school is hosted on courselit.app, you need to get approved to send marketing emails. Request access here.
