Creating Templates

What is a template​

A template is a snippet of text (canned response) that you can quickly add to any editable field on a website, using Briskine.

Templates save you from typing the same text over and over. You can create a template for anything you use often, whether it’s a few words or a longer message. For example, templates are great for email signatures, customer support replies, quotes, or any other frequently used text.

Briskine Dashboard​

You can create and edit templates in the Briskine Dashboard at https://app.briskine.com.

Access it by entering the URL in your browser, by clicking the Sign in button on the Briskine website, or from the Briskine popup after installing the extension.

tip

The Dashboard is accessible from any web browser, whether you’re on a computer or a mobile device.

Template Editor​

Templates support rich text content like text formatting (bold, italic, underline), fonts, alignment, colors, tables, links, emojis 👍 or images.

The Template Editor will help you write and style the content as needed.

Template Variables​

Templates support dynamic variables that insert a changing piece of information, such as your name or today's date.
