Message Templates
Message Templates save time and ensure consistency in communications. Quickly invite, welcome, remind, support, prompt, question, thank, warn, guide or prepare participants for their next activity. Once a Message Template has been created, it can be used again by any Analyst or Moderator to communicate with participants and other Admins.
Message Templates are simple to create, find, preview and use. Each template can have one or more of the following attributes:
- Template Name (only visible to Admins)
- Study Visibility
- Subject
- Message
- Login Button Label
- Signature
Adding a Message Template
Message Templates can be created in variety of ways:
- Site Administration > Settings > Message Templates
- Email Broadcast > Save as Template Administrators also have the option to save an email message they’ve composed as a new template to ensure it can be reused in the future. This option is available for Email Broadcasts and Email Invitations composed at the Site and Study level.
- Use Template Message Templates can be created anywhere that the Use Template option is available. Click on Use Template > Add Template to create a new template.
The Message Templates area can be found under the Utilities pane in Site Administration > Settings. From this area, Analysts can add new templates and manage existing ones.
