Use AccessAlly emails to create email templates to send directly from AccessAlly. You can use shared blocks that can be re-used across all emails (like a branded header and footer), or import/export entire emails.

How It Works
There are two types of “templates” that you can use to speed up your email creation process:
- Shared blocks – these are elements (like a header or footer) which can be easily added to any email type. The benefit to using shared blocks is that you can update your logo, for example, in a single location, instead of having to manually update it in every email that you have set up in your site.
- Import/Export – You can export/import entire emails that are created inside AccessAlly. This can be helpful if you have multiple AccessAlly sites and would like to re-use the same emails across all of them.
