WHY USE TEMPLATES?

Save your replies.
Reuse them in Gmail.

Email Templates for Gmail helps you save and reuse email replies instead of retyping them. Create, organize, and insert templates inside Gmail, sync them across computers and mobile devices, and keep your own backup.

Create reusable email templates for Gmail™ and insert them directly into new messages and replies. Save common responses once, find them quickly, and reuse them whenever you need them.

KEY BENEFITS

  • Reply faster without retyping — save frequently used responses and reuse them in seconds.
  • Use the same templates across browsers and devices — keep one synchronized library across computers, with mobile support coming soon.
  • Insert templates directly in Gmail™ — without opening separate pages or editors.
  • Find the right template quickly — search by title and arrange templates in the order that works best for you.
  • Import and export your entire library — easily back up or transfer your saved templates.

Gmail Templates is a template manager for people who regularly send similar emails. Create, organize, and reuse saved replies without leaving your inbox.

Use email reply templates for customer support, client inquiries, follow-ups, and sales emails. Save meeting confirmations, answers to frequently asked questions, and other messages you send again and again.

Build a library of canned responses for Gmail that you can personalize before sending. Keep complete replies or short passages ready for the next familiar question.

HOW IT WORKS

Set up quick replies for Gmail by saving the responses you use most. When writing a new email or replying in Gmail™, open your templates, find the response you need, and insert it directly at the current cursor position.

You can reorder templates to keep frequently used responses close at hand, search the library by title, and edit saved templates whenever your wording changes.

Your Gmail templates are synchronized after you sign in, so you can use the same saved replies across different browsers and computers. Support for Gmail templates on mobile is coming soon.

Gmail Templates is also designed to handle temporary connection problems. Your templates remain available while you work, and changes synchronize safely after the connection is restored.

QUESTIONS

Your questions, answered.

Simple answers about setup, sync, and your saved replies.

Support
How do I get started?

Install the Chrome extension and open Gmail. In the Templates manager, create a template, give it a clear title, and save it. You can then insert it into new emails or replies.

Can I edit a template before sending?

Yes. Once you insert a template, you can change the text, add the recipient’s name, and include any details you need. You send the email yourself — the extension never sends it automatically.

Can I use my templates on more than one computer?

Yes. Install the extension and sign in to the same SideWorks account on each computer. Your templates will sync automatically.

Can I use my templates on my phone?

Yes, with the separately installed Gmail add-on. Sign in to the same SideWorks account to access your template library. The Chrome extension and the mobile add-on are installed separately.

Does the extension read my emails?

No. The extension does not read or collect your emails. It only inserts the template you choose into your message.

What happens if I lose my internet connection?

Your templates will keep working locally on your device. When your internet connection returns, your changes will sync automatically.

Can I back up my templates?

Yes. Export your library to a file on your computer. You can import it later to restore your templates or move them to another SideWorks account. Importing adds templates without replacing the ones you already have.

Make your next reply easier.
