If your fonts don't match, it's likely due to copy/pasting into the text editor in your template. The best way to avoid this is when you are building the template to always paste with plain text. This will strip out any formatting that is being carried over and allow you to decide the font/size within the editor.

For right now, we cannot delete an entire category or move templates in bulk to a new category. What you can do is edit each template within the Category to either an existing Category name or a brand new name. This will move all of your existing templates into a different folder. Once the folder is empty, it will disappear. We are working on adding the ability to do this in bulk, but for the time-being this is how you can remove/edit categories.

Unfortunately, adding video content to a template and having it play in-line in the sent message is not available at this time. However, you can insert an inline image (or gif!) in your templates by clicking on the 'Insert Image' button (with the mountain icon) in the edit tools above the text field. One suggestion would be to insert a still image of the intended video, then making that image clickable by highlighting it and clicking the hyperlink icon to input the video URL.

ToutApp’s Recommended Templates help you get the right messaging while saving you time in the process. This gives you greater flow when sending emails and reduces uncertainty when trying to find the right email for the right person. To get started, go to your Templates tab. Select the template you would like to recommend and click edit. To enable the Recommended Template functionality on your template check, ‘Auto-Suggest this template when’. All vs. Any Now it’s time to select your criteria settings. Select ‘All’ if you would like your template to be recommended when all of the criteria is met.  Select ‘Any’ if you would like your template to be recommended when any one of the criteria is met. In the example below I have selected ‘Any’. Setting Criteria Your criteria is going to set the conditions for which templates will be recommended. You can set a maximum of 3 pieces of criteria. First select the Dynamic Fields you would like to be pointed at in your template. Conditions Now you will want to select your condition. When your conditions for your dynamic field are met then the template will be recommended. You will be able to choose from 4 different conditions. Equals: Value must be an exact match (eg. ToutApp equals ToutApp) Does not Equal: Value must be anything but an exact match (eg. Toutapp does not equal Tout) Contains: Only needs to contain the value (eg. ToutApp Rocks! contains Toutapp) Does Not Contain: The Value must not be in the Dynamic Field (eg. Toutapp Rocks! does not contain Awesome) In the example above if any of the two criteria are met then the template will be recommended. The first criteria states that if the Title contains the abbreviation VP then the template will be recommended. The second piece of criteria states that if the Company name is not ToutApp then it will be recommended. Now remember if the company name was Toutapp Inc then it would not be recommended in this case. Although it does contain ‘ToutApp’, ToutApp Inc is not exactly equal to ToutApp. What A Recommended Template Looks Like Now that your Criteria is set go ahead and save the template. From here, ToutApp will work its magic to surface the best templates for you . For the example below the recipient's title contained VP and the template was recommended. The text in blue will show what criteria was met to recommend this template Now that you have mapped out your first template, it’s time to map out the rest. Go through your most successful templates and recommend them. Don’t forget to share the template with your team as well. Your recommended settings for any templates will also be shared amongst your team.

1) Navigate to the Analytics page 2) Click into the Content button and filter by the desired date range 3) Based on that selected date range, at the top of the page you can see the total number of emails and templates used across your team. Below that, your view is broken up into three sections: (1) Secret Weapon - A template not yet shared across the team that is getting tons of engagement (2) Highest Engagement - A template already shared across the team that is killing it in engagement (3) Lowest Engagement - A template that needs some re-tinkering to its engagement rate (note: this template can either be shared or unshared across the team) From there, you can scroll down and see all templates created across your team based again on their view rates within that selected date range.
