save time and maintain consistent messaging to all your customers. When you’re ready to send an
email, you can access the templates while composing email messages in your email application. You
can also create your own Lightning email template from email messages you craft.

Note Attachments in email templates, including inline images, aren’t supported in the Outlook
and Gmail integrations. If you insert an email template that contains an attachment, the body of
the template is inserted in the email. However, the attachment isn’t included.
TipReps can also save an email they’re composing as a
template directly from Outlook and Gmail. However, if they want to include an attachment or
image as part of the template, create the template in Salesforce.
In your email application, start composing an email and specify its recipients.
In your email application pane, click Email Template.
To view a list of available Lightning email templates for a record type, such as leads,
select the record type.
Select the Lightning template you want to use for the email you’re composing.
After the template appears in the email body, modify the email content as needed.
When you’re done, send your email.
