The Shared Email Templates add-in is designed to help you avoid retyping the same messages and replies in Outlook. But what if you need to insert certain information into several templates you use? For example, your email address, company name, social media accounts, etc. With the Properties feature, you can easily add these details.
For each team and profile, you can create a set of properties and use them in your templates.
You can create properties for your Shared Email Templates profile and for your teams. You can use profile properties in any template wherever it is located: in your private folders or in teams. For a team template, you can use only this team's properties.
To edit or create profile properties, click the three dots at the lower-right corner of the add-in pane and select Profile:
Find My Properties and click the Edit properties icon next to it:
