Blueprints: The easy way to create and share Email Templates for Teams

By Team equinux 1:1 Emails

Introducing Blueprints: An easier way to send 1:1 emails from the Mail Designer app

Frequently sending personalized designs like quotes, invoices, or exposés? Blueprints let you send 1:1 emails over and over again without overwriting the original design. Everything stays intact, ensuring consistency and a smooth workflow for your whole team.

Here's how they work:

Define any TeamCloud design as a Blueprint (your team will love it: one member creates the Blueprint, and everyone can use it!)

Project Blueprints are saved in their own section in the Mail Designer 365 sidebar. Just click the + to create a new design draft using your Blueprint:

Personalize your message, then hit Direct Mail to send:

A copy of your newly created email will be saved in TeamCloud for future reference.

Need to make changes to the original?

Tweak a Blueprint at any time—update the disclaimer, change the logo, or add new content. Just choose Edit original:
