The purpose of this guide is to explain how to create new and edit existing workflow message templates. These templates can be used in automatic and manual Follow-up and Collection emails and texts as well as manual communication outside of any workflow. They offer a customized message to a Lead or Customer based on how how far along they are in the Follow-up and Collection process or a targeted message when sent outside of a workflow. For more information on workflows, please click here.
