Email templates have a 4,000 character limit.  Any template over 4,000 characters will receive an error message.  Also at this time, no images can be added to the email signature or body of the template. 

Important Note!!!

The following texts are considered special text: ‘, @, >, “ “, &, and in your saved template each will have an embedded code.  The student or employee’s email or text will appear as you intended the message to be, however the  embedded code will also appear within the activities section on the student or lead page.  

For example: The apostrophe embedded code may appear like this in the saved template or within the activities section “Kristen&>23/s” The “&23/s” is the embedded code for the special character apostrophe
