This article covers how to create and use templates effectively.

- Scroll down and click on the "Forms, Workflows & Templates" link.

- Click on the “Message Templates” link.

- Click on the “New Template”.

- Design your template and save it.

Supported Variables in Message Templates
ClayHR allows you to insert support variables into message templates, which are automatically replaced with relevant data when the message is sent. These placeholders vary based on the selected template category.
1. Using Supported Variables
To view the available variables for a specific template, refer to the Supported Variables drop-down while creating or editing a template.
2. Custom Fields
Custom fields can also be used within templates using the format:
{{CF_customfieldcode}}
For example, if a custom field is labeled ESP, it can be referenced as {{CF_ESP}}.
