Email Templates

Email Templates allow you to standardize outreach while still keeping emails personalized.

They are used when drafting emails from the Cortex or Synapse.

Connecting Your Email Provider​

You can connect either Gmail or Outlook (Microsoft 365 Business).

Gmail​

  1. Select Gmail as your provider
  2. Click Authorize
  3. Accept the requested permissions

That’s it — your Gmail account is now connected.

Outlook (Microsoft 365 Business)​

  1. Select Outlook as your provider
  2. Click Authorize
  3. Accept the requested permissions
  4. On the same page, add the email address that will be used to send emails

Once completed, Outlook is ready for use.

Zoho Mail​

Zoho Mail connects via an outgoing webhook that forwards incoming emails to the platform in real time.

Step 1 — Open Webhooks

In Zoho Mail, go to Settings → Developer Space → Webhooks and select the Outgoing Webhooks tab. Click Create new configuration.

Step 2 — Configure the webhook

Fill in the form:

  • Custom Username — enter a label, e.g. Outgoing Webhook for XyRo
  • Webhook URL — paste the URL provided in your account settings
  • Select entity — choose Mail

New Webhook form — username, URL, and entity

Step 3 — Set mail conditions and save

Under Select mail conditions, choose No conditions. All emails. Leave the Custom Function field empty, then click Save.

New Webhook form — conditions and save

Once saved, Zoho Mail will forward all incoming emails to the platform automatically.

Managing Templates​

You can create, edit, and delete email templates.

Template Editor​

Each template body supports rich formatting, including:

  • Bold, italics, and lists
  • Links
  • Editor toolbar formatting options

Dynamic Variables​

You can use placeholders inside templates:

  • {contact_name}
  • {company_name}

These are automatically replaced when drafting emails.

Signature Options​

Each template can define its own signature behavior:

  • Custom signature
  • Blank
  • Use area code signature

When using an area code signature, it is automatically filled using that area code’s details.
