An **email template** is a reusable email layout or design that can be used multiple times when sending emails.

Instead of creating an email from scratch every time, you can use a template that already includes:

-   Pre-designed layout and structure
-   Common content (e.g., headers, footers, branding)
-   Styling such as colors, fonts, and formatting

You can also choose a template from template library and customise it per requirement.
