With templates, you can save repetitive email content as an email template. Before sending a template, you can personalize and tailor the content to your recipients. You can access sales templates from the CRM or when sending an email from your inbox.
Sales email templates are used when sending one-to-one emails. For bulk emails, learn how to save marketing email templates.
Please note: users with templates permissions can create, edit, and delete templates. Free users can access the first five templates created in the account. This means that if a free user is added to an account where five or more templates have already been created, that free user will be able to view and use only those first five templates. If there are no templates in the account, the free user can create up to five templates total.
You can view the total number of templates that have already been created in your account in the top right corner on the templates dashboard. Learn more about these limits in HubSpot's Product & Services catalog.
