Enable Templates for Salespeople to Use When Composing Emails

Enable email templates to let salespeople communicate more effectively via email. After you enable the message templates, salespeople can simply select a template and their email is automatically populated with relevant information from the sales records based on the selected template.

Setting up message templates for use in Outlook involves these high-level steps:

  1. Create templates for use in the add-in. See Create Email Templates (Message Templates) for more information.
  2. Enable the business objects that you want to expose the associated templates in the add-in for.
