There are four main categories of emails stored within 17hats: Regular emails, Document Emails, Automatic Confirmation Emails, and Reminder Emails. 

Each of these categories shows as email “types” which are listed on the right-hand column of your Document & Email template page:

Each message can only be used for one purpose which is defined by the type. For example, if I’m sending a questionnaire, only emails with a type of Email (questionnaire_send) can be used. 

If you are sending a document, you must create the document within the contacts project first. You can build the document from scratch, OR use a pre-saved template. 

Once the document is created and saved, you’ll then be able to click the “send” button, and an email pop-up will appear. Just as before, you can type the email from scratch, OR use a pre-saved template.
