Creating a template in Gmail is very useful if we often send email messages with the same format repeatedly, especially if we send email messages to many people with similar formats. This is certainly very helpful because with the template we created, we don’t need to type the message manually again, we just need to enter the template we once created and save it.
Gmail itself provides a total of up to 50 templates that we can create and store. It seems that this is more than enough to be used in our daily work. Because it is rare in a job that we need more than 10 template designs.
The following are some of the benefits of creating templates in Gmail.
- Makes it easy to send the same email message over and over again
- Avoid typos in messages we send via email
- Make email messages look more professional and consistent
- Speed up the work of sending emails
- Don’t worry that the email template design will be lost
