Learn how to create, organize, clone, and archive email templates in Mailofly.

Creating a Template

  1. In the sidebar, navigate to Templates.
  2. Click Create Template.
  3. Choose a starting layout:
    • Blank Canvas: Start from scratch with the visual block builder.
    • Starter Layout: Clean, responsive layout with pre-styled header, CTA, and footer.
    • Raw HTML: Import your existing HTML or MJML code.
  4. Give your template an internal name and default subject line.

Template ID and Aliases

Each template has a permanent unique ID:
You can also assign an optional human-readable slug/alias (e.g. password-reset or welcome-email), which can be passed directly to the API in place of the ID.

Cloning Templates

To iterate on an existing design without modifying production templates:
  1. Open the template details page.
  2. Click Duplicate.
  3. Edit the duplicate and test it before updating your API callers.
