How to create an email newsletter using templates?

Create an email newsletter using templates in SendFox—apply one of your saved templates or a Gallery design, and save any email as a reusable template.

How templates work in SendFox

Templates are reusable starting points for your newsletters: they store the design, content, subject line, and preview text. You'll find them in two places:

Library → Templates — where you create and manage your own templates.
Inside the email editor's Library panel — where you apply a template to the email you're writing. The panel also includes a Gallery tab of ready-made SendFox designs.

Templates are available on every plan.

Create a newsletter from a template

Go to Emails in the top navigation bar and click Create email.
In the editor, click Library in the toolbar at the bottom.
Pick the Templates tab for your own saved templates, or Gallery for SendFox's ready-made designs. Use the Search box to filter by name.
Click Use this template on the one you want. The template's design, subject, and preview text are applied to your email.
Edit the content as usual, then send or schedule it—see how to create and send an email.

Save an email as a template

With your email open in the editor, click the arrow next to the Schedule / send button.
Choose Save as template and give it a name. You'll see Template saved. when it's done.

You can also build a template from scratch: go to Library → Templates and click Create Template. The same page is where you edit or delete existing templates.

Reuse smaller pieces with Sections

If you only want to reuse part of an email—a header, a footer, a signup pitch—save it as a section instead: click the arrow next to Schedule / send and choose Save as section. Sections live under Library → Sections, and you insert one from the editor's Library panel (Sections tab) with Insert section. Unlike a template, inserting a section adds the block to your email without replacing what's already there.

Troubleshooting

"A template with this name already exists."

Template names must be unique in your account. Pick a different name, or update the existing template instead from Library → Templates.

I saved a template but can't find it

Your own templates are under the Templates tab of the editor's Library panel (and on the Library → Templates page). The Gallery tab only shows SendFox's built-in designs.

Frequently Asked Questions

Are templates a paid feature?

No—creating, saving, and using templates works on the Free plan too. (Your plan's monthly send allowance still applies when you send the newsletter.)

Does a template save my subject line?

Yes. Templates store the design plus the subject line and preview text, and they're applied along with the design when the template has them saved.

Can I use templates in automation emails?

Yes—automation emails open in the same editor, so the Library panel works there too. See how to create an automation.
