Creating templates

Templates are snippets of text, code, or other information you want to drop into your work — from frequently used customer replies to your Zoom link — you can save them as a template.

Once you’ve created a template in Magical, easily expand it anywhere on the web. Magical works on Gmail, LinkedIn, Salesforce, Zendesk, and even your internal tools.

Creating templates

To create a template, navigate to your Magical workspace and click Templates from the left side navigation. You can also create templates directly from the Magical panel by clicking the Magical icon in the browser bar to open the panel, then click the Templates tab, and click Create template.

Give your template a trigger - This is what you will type to embed your template anywhere.

Write your template content - This is what will be inserted when you use this template. Templates can be plain text or they can include pieces of info. Learn about creating a template with placeholders here. 

Enhance your template content - As you type, Magical is ready to help. Magical will find ways to improve the grammar, spelling, personalization, or quality of writing and then show the “Enhance” button. Click “Enhance” to update the template content, including adding placeholders automatically.

Click Save.
