How to: Copy a Text Template
Users can copy their text templates within their study. When you copy your template, it will make an exact replica of text, including the words, use of participant variables, and “Automatically Send Based on” date. Once a template is created, you can modify one without affecting the other. This helps teams save time in creating multiple, similar text templates and allow you to expedite using them.
How to copy a text template within a study:
You can copy a text template within its study with a click of a button. Here are the steps to copy the template:
- Open the text template you wish to copy.
- Scroll down to the bottom of the page.
- Select one of the two buttons:
- Copy Template (red): This creates an exact replica of your original template, and keeps your original template open.
- Copy Template & Close (green): This creates an exact replica of your original template and closes the original template. You will automatically return back to the list of templates.
Note
If you made any changes to the template before attempting to copy, you will need to save your template first before you copy it.
- If needed, click the button for a second time to create another replica of your template
- Once your template is closed, you can go to your template list and find the new template.
- The new will be name “Copy of (your original template name)”
- You can open and modify anything on either template. Changes that you make on one template will NOT affect the other templates.
Note
Duplicating the template will also duplicate participant variables, like {{event_name}} and {{event_scheduled_date}}, as well as the “Automatically send based on” date. If you’re copying your template to use for a new event, make sure you check that the event name and date match this new event.
How to copy a text template into a different study:
The Copy Template buttons only allow you to copy the template within its original study. You can export your study settings and import the selected template(s) into another study. Read more information on how to do that in this article.
