Email templates allow you to build an email once and reuse it whenever needed. Templates can include dynamic variables, file attachments, and forms, making them ideal for common communications such as welcome emails, payment reminders, traveler information requests, and trip updates.


Why Use Email Templates

Email templates help you:

  • Standardize communication across your team

  • Reduce repetitive email writing

  • Personalize emails automatically using variables

  • Include commonly used forms and attachments

  • Speed up message creation

Once saved, a template can be selected whenever sending a message from a trip.

  2. Click Add Template.

  3. Enter a Template Name.

  4. Enter a Subject.

  5. Create the email content using the editor.

  6. Optionally add variables, attachments, or forms.

  7. Click Save.

The template is saved and becomes available when composing messages.

Personalize Templates with Variables

Variables automatically insert information from the associated trip or contact when the email is sent.

To add a variable:

  1. Place the cursor where the information should appear.

  2. Click {x} in the editor toolbar.

  3. Select the desired variable.

Available variables include:

  • Client First Name

  • Client Last Name

  • Agency Name

  • Trip Start Date

  • Trip End Date

  • Trip Link

  • Passport Expiration Date

  • Payment Due Date

  • Remaining Payment Amount

When the email is sent, TripLoft replaces each variable with the appropriate value.

Example:

Template

Hi {Client First Name},

Your trip begins on {Trip Start Date}.

Delivered Email

Hi Aryan,

Your trip begins on June 20, 2026.

Email Signature

Your configured email signature is automatically applied to the template and appears in the preview, so you can confirm how it will look to recipients.


Preview a Template

Before saving, click Preview to review how the email will appear to recipients.

Use preview mode to verify:

  • Formatting

  • Variable placement

  • Attachments

  • Form inclusion

  • Email signature

  • Overall layout


Manage Email Templates

Navigate to Templates → Email Templates to manage your saved templates. The page lists each template with its name, creator, and actions, and you can search to find a specific template.

Edit a template

Open any template to load it in edit mode, make your changes, and click Save. Changes affect future emails only.

Archive a template

Use the archive action on a template, then confirm in the modal. The template moves to the Archived tab, where it remains available for reference and can be searched. Archiving keeps your active list focused without permanently removing the template.

Delete templates

To delete, select one or more templates using their checkboxes. The bulk action bar appears with the selected count. Click Delete and confirm. Selected templates are permanently removed.


Conclusion

Email Templates help you create consistent, reusable communications across every trip. By combining rich formatting, dynamic variables, attachments, and forms, templates reduce manual work while ensuring travelers receive accurate and professional communications.
