Email templates: the automation with the highest ROI
If you've typed the same reply three times, you owe yourself a template. The five snippets that pay off from day one.

Forget complex automations for a moment. The highest-return workflow upgrade is embarrassingly simple: stop retyping the same five emails.
Templates everyone needs
- The scheduling reply — your availability plus a booking link.
- The polite no — warm, short, final.
- The follow-up nudge — friendly, with the original ask restated.
- The intro — two people, one sentence each, clear next step.
Level upUse a text expander so snippets work everywhere — ';sched' becomes the whole paragraph. Templates in your email app alone only fix half the problem.
