Share email templates
Learn how to share email templates with your team.
Our email template sharing feature allows team members to work on the same email templates within Mailmeteor. While it doesn't support realtime simultaneous editing, it ensures that multiple users can collaborate on a template without overwriting each other's changes.
Who is it for?
This feature is specifically designed for organizations where different team members contribute to email template creation and editing. Whether you're a sales team, marketer, designer, or content creator, this feature simplifies collaborative work on email campaigns.
It's available for free to all Mailmeteor plans (Free, Premium, Pro, Business).
How to share an email template?
Collaboration within Mailmeteor is made easy with our email template sharing feature.
Here's a step-by-step guide to help you get started:
Sign in to Mailmeteor Dashboard.
Access your email templates.
Open the template to share, then click on "Actions" > "Share"
Invite collaborators by entering their email addresses.
Define the level of access each collaborator should have. You can choose between "Viewer" or "Editor". "Viewer" means they will only see the template but can't change it, while "Editor" permits them to make modifications.
Confirm the selections by clicking on "Done".
Your collaborators can now access the shared template right from their templates list.
Detecting conflicts
Unlike Google Docs or similar realtime collaborative editors, our sharing feature doesn't support simultaneous editing at this time. It means that you won't see your teammates' changes in realtime.
However, we've implemented a conflict resolution system to ensure a smooth, conflict-free collaboration experience.
When multiple collaborators are working on the same email template, our system is designed to detect potential conflicts between different versions. If a conflict is detected, you will receive a notification to help you manage it.
You have two options when a conflict arises:
Save as new template - Choose this option if you want to preserve your changes separately. Your edits will be saved as a new template, and you can then review and integrate your teammates' changes into the original template.
Accept [incoming] changes - If you choose to accept incoming changes, be aware that your teammates' modifications will overwrite your edits.
