# Email templates

> Create and edit reusable email templates with the Puck or MJML editor

**Templates** are reusable email designs. You set a **subject** and **body** (with [variables](/emails/variables)) and reuse them in [drafts](/emails/drafts) for sending.

## Create a template

1. Go to **Emails** → **Templates** and click **Create template** (or **New template**).
2. Enter a **name** (for your reference, e.g. "Monthly newsletter").
3. Set the **subject** line. Use variables like `{{name}}` or `{{email}}` so each recipient gets a personalized subject. See [Variables](/emails/variables).
4. Build the **body**:
   * **Puck editor**: Drag-and-drop blocks (text, images, buttons) and style them. Same concept as the [website page editor](/website/page-editor).
   * **MJML**: If your app supports it, you can write or paste MJML; it is converted to HTML for sending.
5. Save. The template appears in the Templates list and can be used to create [drafts](/emails/drafts).

<Tip>
  Keep the subject short and clear. Test with a small recipient list first to ensure variables and links work.
</Tip>

## Edit a template

* Open the template from **Templates**, change subject or body, and save. Existing [drafts](/emails/drafts) that were created from this template may keep their own copy of content until you update the draft; new drafts will use the updated template.

## Variables in templates

* Use `{{name}}`, `{{email}}`, and custom variables (e.g. `{{event_date}}`) in both **subject** and **body**. They are replaced per recipient when sending. See [Variables](/emails/variables).
