Message Templates
2. To help you get started, we’ll provide you with a few templates to use as a foundation for your message design.
All templates show placeholder text and images to help you begin to design your Slack message. Depending on the template you choose, you can add, delete, move content blocks to create the look and feel you want.
Here are the different template categories and what they include.
Templates shared by others: The sample templates category includes Slack message templates that were designed with specific goals in mind. Each template contains customizable content blocks you can use to promote company news, events, and more.
My templates: This tab includes templates that you have saved to your account, as well as any email designs that you've saved for future use. You can select a template from My Templates, and edit the content and design how you want.
Clone: Choose one of your recently edited or sample slack message as the starting point and we'll create an exact copy of the email's content and design, so you can edit it as needed without starting over from scratch.
