Key takeaways
- Create templates three ways: from the Templates menu, while building a campaign (Save as Template), or by applying an existing one during campaign setup.
- Templates store commonly used configurations and merge tags (like ####{{first_name}}) so you can reuse them across campaigns.
- You must complete all call-to-action fields — button text and redirect URL — before you can save a template.
- Manage your templates (view, edit, delete, or create new) in the Templates section of your main menu.
This guide will show you how to create, save, and manage templates for your dynamic video campaigns in Sendspark. Templates help you save time by storing commonly used configurations that you can reuse across multiple campaigns.
