What Are Gmail Email Templates?<\/h2>\n\n\n\n
There are two kinds of Gmail email templates. First, you have email templates known as canned responses<\/em>. These are email templates that you create to quickly reply to common emails you receive.<\/p>\n\n\n\n For example, if you invite guests over frequently, they might email you asking for directions to your house. Instead of typing it out every time, you can create an email template that you can reuse over and over again.<\/p>\n\n\n\n Or maybe you\u2019re using Gmail for business, and you get the same type of inquiry all the time. You can save time by creating a template and sending it whenever someone asks that same question.<\/p>\n\n\n\n Gmail allows you to store up to 50 templates, so it\u2019s easy to create different templates for different purposes. To do this, first you have to enable the template functionality within Gmail. Here\u2019s how:<\/p>\n\n\n\n Now it\u2019s time to create your first email template. Follow the steps below to do it:<\/p>\n\n\n\n You\u2019ll then have the option to name your template. Keep in mind that whatever you name the template will appear as the subject line in your email.<\/p>\n\n\n\n If you ever want to edit the template, you\u2019ll have to overwrite the existing template. All you have to do is compose the template and include the edits you want. Then, when it\u2019s time to save, be sure to click on the name of the previously saved template and select the Overwrite Template<\/strong> option.<\/p>\n\n\n\n Now you know how to create your very own Gmail templates. These are fine for basic communication, quick replies and organized Gmail inboxes. But what if you want to make your emails look more custom?<\/p>\n\n\n\n As I mentioned earlier, that\u2019s exactly where HTML email templates come in. In this part of the tutorial, we\u2019ll take a look at how you can use a premade HTML template and use it within Gmail. For the purposes of this tutorial, I\u2019ll be using the Maverick email template<\/a> from Envato Elements.<\/p>\n\n\n\n The first step is to customize your template. You can do this by using the StampReady Builder<\/a> platform, or you can edit the HTML file yourself. If you decide to edit the code yourself, you\u2019ll need a code editor like Notepad++ or Sublime Text.<\/p>\n\n\n\n The most important part of this process is to ensure that your images are stored in an online location, otherwise they won\u2019t render properly when you send an email. You can use a web server or a service like Dropbox or Google Drive to store any important images.<\/p>\n\n\n\n Once you\u2019ve uploaded images to Dropbox or Google Drive, copy the link to each individual image. Then, open your template in Sublime Text or your preferred editor and update the image links.<\/p>\n\n\n\n Another thing to keep in mind is that if you decide to customize your template with the StampReady Builder, your custom fonts won\u2019t import.<\/em><\/p>\n\n\n\n Lastly, make sure that any styles are loaded inline as you can\u2019t use external stylesheets with Gmail.<\/p>\n\n\n\n The next thing you need to do is to open your HTML template in the browser. To do this, open the folder you\u2019ve downloaded from Envato Elements and look for a folder labeled HTML<\/em>. Right-click<\/strong> on the file that has the .html extension, and select Open With Chrome<\/strong> or whichever browser you\u2019re using.<\/p>\n\n\n\n This will open the template in the browser, where you can see what your template will look like. If you\u2019re happy with how your email looks, you can move on to the next step.<\/p>\n\n\n\n To select the code for your email, whilst in your text editor, click Control-A<\/strong> on your keyboard. This will select all of the code as it is rendered in the browser, and that\u2019s exactly what we want. Then press Control-C<\/strong> to copy the selected content.<\/p>\n\n\n\n Head on over to your Gmail and click on Compose<\/strong>. Then, press Control-V<\/strong> to paste the content of the email over.<\/p>\n\n\n\n Once you\u2019ve pasted the contents of the email over, check everything to make sure your email is displaying properly. Then, follow the steps I\u2019ve outlined earlier to save it as a template:<\/p>\n\n\n\n Give it a name and save it. You can then test it out by sending it to yourself and use it whenever you want.<\/p>\n\n\n\n Now that you know how to use HTML templates in Gmail, let\u2019s take a look at some of the best Gmail email templates from Envato Elements.
