Templates help you send personalized messages faster while keeping a consistent tone across your outreach.

Open the Message Templates tab

From the left-hand sidebar, go to Inbox and click the Message Templates tab at the top. This page lists all your templates with their subjects, previews, and authors.
The Message Templates tab

Create a new email template

Click New Email Template in the top-right corner and choose whether the template is Personal or shared with the Workspace. In the editor you can set:
  • Name, for internal use
  • Subject
  • Email body content
  • Attachments
The template editor with a variable dropdown
Use clear, reusable titles so your team can easily identify templates, for example “Candidate Intro – Software Engineer”. The body editor offers a set of fonts you can send in, so a template can follow your house style rather than the default. Montserrat is among them.

Personalize with variables

Type { in the editor to browse the available variables. They fill in automatically when the message is sent, for example:
  • Recipient > First Name and Recipient > Last Name
  • Job > Name and Company > Name
  • AI Generated content, which writes a passage based on your instruction
Variables only populate if the matching details exist in Spott.

AI-generated content

AI Generated content is not a fixed variable: you tell it what to write about, and it writes that passage per recipient when the message goes out. Write about picks the record it draws on: Recipient, Candidate, Contact, Company, or Job. Then give it an instruction, for example “invite the recipient to review the information in a friendly but professional tone”. Spott uses that record’s data to write the passage, so the same template lands differently for every person on the list.
The Write about options in the AI Generated content dialog

Auto-save and usage

Templates are saved automatically as you type. There is no save button. Once created, templates are available when composing messages in the Inbox and in campaigns. In the Inbox, Start from template in the composer toolbar lists your workspace and personal templates, so you never have to leave the conversation to fetch one.

From the three-dot menu on a template you can change its visibility (personal or workspace) or delete it. Presentation and job description templates live separately, under Settings → Templates.
