An App Designer can create and edit email templates from the Email Template Dashboard.
Email Template Overview
Email templates are used to create workflow notifications. If you want to send an email as part of a workflow, for example to the approver(s) or to the record’s originator to let them know of a workflow update, you will need to create an Email Template to define the email that will be sent. To access the Email Template Dashboard:
| Edit App > Emails |
 |
Email Template Dashboard
The email templates dashboard shows all available email templates for the current application, displayed as tiles. An App Designer can create and update them from here. Double clicking on a template’s tile will open it in the Email Template Editor.

Each email template tile also has the following options:
| Item | Description |
| Click on a Tile | Info Panel – Displays the right side information panel, with summary information about the currently selected email template. |
 |
Delete – Deletes the email template from the application. |
 |
Edit – Opens the email template in the Email Template Editor |
Creating a new Email Template
To create a new email template, click on the + New Email Template button at the top of the dashboard. You will then be presented with the New Email Template dialog:
| New Email Template Dialog |
 |
| Item | Description |
| Email Template Name | Enter the name of the new email template. |
| Description | If desired, enter a description for the email template to help clarify its purpose. |
| Select Form | Select the form whose workflow this email will be part of. This is required so that the email editor can lookup the fields from the form to potentially include in the Subject and Body of the email. |
 |
Click to close the dialog and cancel the new email template creation. |
 |
Click to close the dialog, create the new email template, and be taken to the email template designer with the new email template loaded. |
