Save Your Template
Once your email looks good, click on the three dots at the bottom right of the email window. Select “Templates” from the options, then click “Save draft as template.” Choose “Save as a new template” to give your template a name, like “Reply to ‘How Do I Work With You?'” and then hit “Save.”
