Text Templates
Text templates are reusable SMS messages shared across the account, so your team sends the same talk tracks. Merge tags fill in each prospect's details when you insert one.
Insert a text template
- Conversations → open the prospect.
- Click + (Message actions) → Templates. The Text Message Templates window opens.
- Search by name or content, or narrow the list with My Templates, Private Only, or With Media.
- Click a template. Its text (and any attached image or PDF) goes into the message box, with merge tags filled in.
- Edit if needed, then send or schedule.
Templates are also available when you write a one-time send (Use Text Template).
Create a template
- Open Templates from the composer and click New Template.
- Enter a Template Name and the Template Body.
- To personalize, choose a tag from Insert template tag... (see the list below). Tags show as chips in the body.
- Optional: Upload Media to attach a GIF, JPEG, PNG, or PDF (up to 5 MB).
- Optional: check Private template (only visible to me) to keep it to yourself.
- Click Save Template.
Drag the handle in the Reorder column to change the order everyone sees.
Who can edit
- Anyone who can send texts can create templates and use every shared template.
- Admins and owners can edit or delete any template.
- Managers and users can edit or delete only templates they created.
- A private template is visible only to the person who made it.
Merge tags
| Tag | Fills in |

| Manager First Name, Last Name, Phone, Email | The office manager (you may be asked to pick one if the office has several) |

If you use Virtual Meeting Room and don't have a room set up, HiringCenter won't insert the template until you create one. See Virtual Meeting Room.
