Overview

The Email Templates feature in AdviserLogic allows you to create pre-formatted, personalised emails that can be reused across multiple client interactions. Whether you're sending review reminders, onboarding messages, or policy updates, templates help streamline your communications while maintaining a professional, consistent tone.

Templates can include dynamic merge fields that automatically pull data from client records—ensuring each email is tailored and accurate, even when sent in bulk.

Access

To access the Email Templates feature, navigate to the Emails section from the left-hand menu panel in AdviserLogic.

You can create an email template directly in the Email section by using the features within the Email Editor window in AdviserLogic.

🛠️ Formatting Your Template

The editor includes standard word processing tools, allowing you to type directly into the text box, format content, and copy/paste images as needed. Enter your email content in the large white free-text area.

📌Note

  • If you've selected an Email Profile, your email signature will automatically appear in the template body.

  • You can type freely, or copy and paste content from another source.

💡 Tip

If copying from a Word document, use the Preview button to ensure formatting is retained correctly.

To insert dynamic client/adviser data, select the Insert Code (gear icon) to access dynamic fields—these will populate individual client/adviser information even when generating bulk documents.

⚠️Important⚠️

Your address details and logo will not automatically populate in an email template as they do in advice documents.

👉 To include your business header, you can manually insert your logo as an image and use dynamic fields to display address and contact details, ensuring your template remains on-brand.

You can also use the table feature to format your your template.

Once you've created your template, ensure all formatting—such as logos, fonts, links, and spacing—appears correctly before selecting Save from the bottom left of the window.

📌Note

You can preview the email by selecting the Preview button before saving. A Word document will be downloaded to your local drive, allowing you to review the layout and content before finalising the template.

You'll be prompted to enter a template name and choose a template category from the drop-down menu to help organise and manage your templates effectively. Select OK to save your template.

📌Note

You can save a template without assigning a category; however, it is recommended to categorise templates to keep them organised and easy to locate — especially when managing multiple templates across teams or advice types.

✅ Selecting a Template for Email

To insert an existing template into your email, select the Template button located at the bottom of the email editor window.

A list of saved templates will open — simply choose the one you wish to apply. Select Ok to apply the template.

🗃️Creating a Category

The Add Category window allows you to create and manage template categories to keep your templates organised and easy to access.

Add a New Category

To create new template categories, select the Template button from the bottom of the email editor window.

Select the Add Category button from the top left of the Template Manager screen.

In the Category Name field at the bottom of the window, type the name of your new category (e.g., “Review Letters” or “Fee Disclosure”). Select Save to add the new category to the list.

The category will now show in the category list.

Managing Existing Categories

The right column of the Add Category window contains tools that allow you to edit or delete an existing category as needed.

✏️Edit

Select the green pencil icon next to an existing category to rename it.

🗑️Delete

Select the red bin icon to permanently remove a category.

📌Note

Deleting a category does not delete the templates within it, but they will become uncategorised.

👉Tips for categorising templates:

Use clear, purpose-driven names (e.g., “Client Engagement”, “Advice Pack”, “Welcome Pack”) to make templates easier to locate.

Categories are shared across both the Mail Merge and Email template libraries.

🗂️Manage Templates

To access the Template Management options, select the Template button from the bottom of the Email main window.

The Templates window will open, displaying a list of your saved email templates.

Here, you can view each template’s associated category (if assigned). Use the View Categories button to expand and view the category associated with a template.

You can also access key template management options from the right column:

✏️Edit Template

Opens the template for editing. You can update the content and formatting and reassign categories.

📑Duplicate Template

Creates a copy of the selected template for reuse or modification.

🗑️Delete Template

Permanently deletes the template. Use with caution—this action cannot be undone.

Send/Share Template

Shares the template with other users or makes it available across the practice.

Use the Add Category button in the top right to create and manage categories.
