3Compose Your Personalized Message
The Template Message section allows you to create a reusable message and customize how it will appear when sent to customers. In addition to entering the message text, you can personalize the content using CRM fields, adjust the tone, add attachments and emojis, and include voice messages when required.
These options help you create templates for different purposes, such as sales follow-ups, customer support responses, appointment reminders, payment notifications, promotional messages, and general customer communication.
Message Options
- Enter Your Message – Type the main content of your template in the message area. Keep the message clear and relevant to the purpose of the communication. Since the template can be reused multiple times, avoid adding customer-specific information manually when it can be inserted using dynamic CRM fields .
- Add Dynamic Fields – Personalize your template using fields from the selected CRM module . For example, you can insert the customer's first name, company name, appointment date, deal information, or other available CRM details. When the template is used, HelloSend automatically replaces the field placeholder with the corresponding information from the selected CRM record. Always preview the message to make sure the required CRM fields contain valid information.
- Set Message Tone – Use the message tone option to adjust how your message is communicated. Choose a tone that matches the purpose of the conversation and your relationship with the customer. For example, customer-support replies may require a helpful and reassuring tone , while sales follow-ups may use a friendly and engaging tone . Review the updated message before saving to make sure the wording accurately represents your intended meaning and brand voice.
- Attach Documents or Files – Add supporting files directly to the template when the recipient needs additional information. Attachments can be useful for sharing invoices, quotations, brochures, product information, instructions, forms, guides, or other relevant documents . Before saving the template, confirm that the correct file has been attached and that it is appropriate for the messaging channel you plan to use.
- Add Emojis – Use the emoji option to make messages more expressive, friendly, and conversational. Emojis can help communicate emotion or highlight important parts of a message, particularly for greetings, confirmations, reminders, and promotional communication . Use them appropriately and avoid adding too many emojis to professional or important customer messages.
- Attach Voice Messages – Add a voice message when spoken communication would be more useful than text alone. Voice messages can be helpful for providing detailed explanations, personalized greetings, instructions, follow-ups, or information that may be easier to communicate verbally. Before saving, review the voice message and make sure the recording is clear and relevant to the template.
- Preview the Complete Message – Before saving your template, review the complete message to verify the wording, tone, dynamic fields, emojis, attachments, and voice content . This helps prevent incorrect information or missing content from being reused in future conversations.
- Save the Template – Once the message is ready, click Add to save the template. The saved template can then be selected whenever you need to send the same or similar message, reducing repetitive typing while maintaining consistent communication.
Note: Some message options, attachments, or media types may vary depending on the messaging channel and connected provider . Make sure the content included in your template is supported by the channel you intend to use.
- Type your message in the editor.
- Use dynamic placeholders (CRM fields) to insert contact-specific details automatically.
