If you, like me, find yourself writing the same email over and over again or copying and pasting the same message multiple times, Gmail gives you an easier option. By creating and saving email templates, you can insert them the next time you compose a message and save yourself some time.

You can store up to 50 templates at a time, so it’s easy to create different templates for different situations. Here’s how.

Make sure you’ve selected “Enable” under “Templates.”

After writing a message, you can save it as a template.

Name your template so you can easily retrieve it later.

You can overwrite a template if you want to edit or change it.

Confirm the changes by clicking “Save” in the pop-up window.

You can delete templates using the template options in the compose view.

Insert a saved template by going to the template options when you’re writing a new message.

You can set up filters that automatically send out a specific template as a reply when certain emails come in. You do this by creating a filter that specifies which emails you want to address and then assigning a particular template to that. Here’s how:

Use the search bar to set a template to send out automatically.

You can choose which template is automatically sent out.

If at any time you want to change the filter — or delete it — it’s simple.
