# Custom Email Templates
In this guide we'll be covering the custom email templates.
With custom email templates you can create a list of prewritten email content that can be used to replace the default email template when sending emails from the system.
For example, you may have a standard sales email that you would like all users to use when sending introductory emails to clients.
