How to create a template 🎨

  1. Click on the Enablement folder icon then Templates

  2. Select New Template

  3. Select a Salesforce record type (ex. Account, Opportunity, Contact, Lead) so you can add Salesforce fields to your template

  4. Add in the content for your template

    • Salesforce Fields: Include Salesforce fields in your template to reference or update while on calls and taking notes. When you sync a note to Salesforce the Salesforce fields will update too.

    • Questions: Use the question format to guide the conversation.

    • Tasks: Don't miss an action item and embed Salesforce tasks.

    • Create agenda, meeting prep, and next steps sections: Use the headings formatting to outline the most important topics to cover.

Naming your Templates📇

When deciding on a name for your template, pick something that indicates when, where or by whom it should be used. Accurate naming can improve searchability + reduce redundant duplications.

If duplicating an existing template, consider renaming completely or adding an indication of the duplication.

💡** TIP ** Want to add additional details to indicate the use case for the template? Consider using the “Description” area. This will appear below the template name on the tile in your gallery:
