There are multiple add-ons and browser extensions available to help boost your email templates with more dynamic options, but today, we’ll be focusing on the baked-in capabilities that Gmail comes with.

## What is a Gmail Template?

A template is Gmail’s digitized version of a form letter—a stock piece of correspondence that doesn’t change much (if at all) each time it is sent. Naturally, by eliminating the time it takes to repeatedly re-type what is essentially the same message over and over, a template can make your more routine correspondences much more efficient.

As a result, you can spend more time on your more important tasks, without short-changing your communications.

### Activating Gmail Templates

In Gmail, access your **Settings** by clicking on the gear-shaped icon. From there, select **See All Settings**, and then **Advanced**. On the page that appears, you should find an option for **Templates**. **Enable** it and **Save Changes**.

Now, you’ll have the capability to create whatever template you need for your usual correspondence.

### Creating a Gmail Template

Generating a new template is very simple. All you must do is start a new email and write it out the way that your template should replicate. Once your template is written to your liking, click the message’s **three-dot menu** and navigate to the **Templates** option. In the sub-menu that appears, you can **Save draft as template** (which also gives you the option to overwrite your old templates if they need an update). The Templates sub-menu is also where you’ll find all the templates you have saved in the past, when you’re ready to use them, as well as the option to **Delete template** if one is no longer applicable.

Hopefully, this will help you make much faster use of Gmail in the future. To learn more time-saving technology tricks, make sure you subscribe to our blog!
