Standard Prompt Templates
Use standard prompt templates as starting points for typical use cases. You can customize a standard prompt template by copying it. You can override some standard prompt templates to create versions that work in place of the standard version.

Prompt templates are categorized as pilot, custom, or standard. Pilot templates are only available for a small number of users who were part of the Prompt Builder pilot program. You can’t use pilot templates, but you can use their text in new templates. Custom templates are any templates that you create from scratch using the New Prompt Template button. See Create a Prompt Template.
There are two ways to customize the behavior of a standard template.
- You can use the Save As button to create a custom template based on a standard template.
- If a standard prompt template is overridable, you can create additional versions that work in place of the standard version. Only one version is active at any time, including the original template.
You can deactivate and reactivate a template at any time. If you deactivate the original version of a standard template, your overrides are also inactive.
Important
Standard sales email prompts use hard-coded hyperparameters that aren't copied when using the Save As button to create a template. As a result, new prompt templates created this way can produce different or unexpected results compared to the standard sales email prompt templates. To get results most comparable to the standard sales email prompts, use AI Models (formerly Einstein Studio) to create a Model Configuration with the following parameters:
