You can create email templates in Gmail to save time by templating common emails such as breakfast reminders or meeting confirmations, and then use these templates with automation ideas like filters and third-party apps to streamline your workflow. To create a template, go to Settings > Advanced tab and enable templates, then compose a new message and click Save draft as template to save it. Once created, you can use the template by clicking More options > Templates and selecting the saved template of your choice. You can also edit existing email templates in Gmail by editing the text to your liking and saving the changes. To avoid confusion with subject lines, be intentional about titling your templates with descriptive names or using obvious placeholders like all caps or bolded text. Additionally, you can automate your templates with filters, third-party apps, and Google Sheets to further streamline your workflow.
