⚙️ Setup your template

To create an email template:

1. Go to Campaigns > Templates.
2. Click New Template.
   
3. Write a Template name that will help you find it easily in the list of your campaigns.
   This name will only be visible to you.
4. In the Subject Line field, clearly describe your email content in a few words. 
   The subject line is the first content that your recipients will see in their inbox.
5. In the Preview text field, type a short and attractive text (about 35 characters) that gives an overview of the content of your email. 
   This text will be displayed in your recipients' inbox, just below the subject line. This feature is supported by most email clients. 
6. Select in the From Email drop-down list the email address from which you want your recipients to receive your email. By default, the email address will be the one used for your Brevo account.
   If you want to create a new sender for your campaign, click + Add a new sender.
7. In the From Name field, type in the name you want to display in your recipients' email client. By default, the name of the sender is your company name.
   Make sure to write a name that will help your recipients identify your company and that builds trust to generate more openings. To learn more, check our dedicated article to learn how to personalize your From name with contact attributes.
