Ability to add templates [Actions Library]
The templates which come as standard are great and the ability to edit them also great. However there are many times when we send very common responses to candidates that it would be really helpful to be able to add templates and then edit then accordingly. This way we could have a number of templates that we can customise for each need we have to send repetitive emails and save us having to copy paste from documents.

Hi All,
You may have noticed that we have recently increased the number of available Bulk Email Templates to 5 for Contacts and 5 for Candidates. If you go into Email Settings you will be able to create 5 different templates and then when you are sending the Bulk Email you can select which one you would like to send from a drop down on the Bulk Email edit view prior to sending. You can find out about the changes on the Fish Tank here: https://firefishsoftware.elevio.help/en/articles/181
We hope this makes life a little easier!
Kind regards,
Lewis

This really is a must have guys - the standard templates just aren't enough. The email templates should be completely customizable also - so we can change the names on our system so people know exactly what they are when we change them.

We really need to be able to customise or add new call note types

This needs to be sorted urgently as I have so many templates saved off the system.

I need an increase, as having a temp and perm division our emails are very different and it only allows for department to really use the templates!

5 is a start but we could use many more

An increase would be very useful

being able to add bespoke email templates would not only save time but encourage more use of the system so communications can be seen by all users. I don't understand why this isn't being actioned already!!

Additional templates would be incredibly helpful, especially when emailing multiple candidates and clients. Having all the required information readily available ensures efficiency and accuracy, which is crucial in our line of work.

It would be beneficial if we had blank templates on candidate emails as it would save us time having to copy and paste from our folders and it would be better if we had it all in the same place

Thanks for adding the Bulk emails but we feel we should be able to have blank templates on candidate emails that we are allowed to create.
For example we have 6 large temporary clients that everytime a new person starts needs to be sent information / inductions for them to work there. Being able to have these all under the candidate email template would save us time having to copy and past the information. Would appreciate this being looked into for other email templates.

The small number of emails is very restrictive could this be increased to at least 20.

We find the small number of available templates to be very restricting. The CRM we used prior to our use of Firefish allowed us to create a vrtual unlimited number of templates. These saved us so much time.
Our consultancy team is frustrated by what for them is a backward step.

It would be beneficial to be able to add in templates on the action emails, and be able to change the name of these too. For example, I want to start a sales sequence of email follow ups to attract new business but unable to add new ones and can't change the existing template names. Please can you consider this

It would be great if we could create additional custom email templates or at least be able to amend the names of the existing email templates as many don't apply to us.
-
Samantha Botha commented
Yes this would be very helpful for us too.

Beth commented
Please add the ability to add new email templates

Lauren Jow commented
This is really important to us - and would benefit us significantly. For instance, where we use video outreach - would be great to have this as a contact drop down!
-
John commented
Agreed, great option to have
-
Rob Samuel commented
This would be perfect for recording leads as we would easily be able to report on these and create our own visuals/dashboards.
At the moment there isn't really a tangible way to record leads, please give us the ability to add to this dropdown like we can across most of the system!

Would love these to be customisable if possible!
