With outbound email, you'll have three email templates to choose from: 

  • Company

  • Plain

  • Personal

Tip: You can also completely customize and use own email templates with the visual email template editor.

The Company email template

These emails put your logo left aligned at the top of the message, and your address in the footer. They’re great for more official communications when you want your message to come from your app or company, rather than you personally.

Important: We only support formats that can be parsed by a browser (gif, jpeg, png...). We don't support ai or .eps (vector logos).


The Plain email template

Plain style emails are designed to look 100% manual and handwritten. They are identical to normal emails that you send from your own email account. They're great for when you want to engage with customer directly because they look targeted and personal. You can send them from your own email address too.

The Personal email template

These emails include your name and photograph, making the exchange more human. They’re also more styled with colour from your app and include text and heading styles.

Set a default template

You can set a default template for your emails so you don’t have to manually select your favorite one each time. Just go to Proactive Support > Settings > Email templates and set your default from the drop down menu.
