Composer Favorites

Composer favorites are project-level reusable messages with preset settings and/or content. Use favorites instead of recreating commonly used messages.

View as Markdown

You create a composer favorite by saving a message you’re composing in the Message composer. New messages built from a favorite start at the composer step you choose, with earlier steps locked from editing.

Composer favorites save you time and help keep messages consistent:

  • Quickly send time-sensitive messages.
  • Reduce campaign setup time.
  • Maintain quality control by protecting message content or settings that should not be altered.

Creating composer favorites

You can create up to 100 composer favorites.

From your project dashboard:

  1. Select the Create dropdown menu (), then select Message.
  2. Compose your message, making selections and filling in content.
  3. When you are ready to save the current state, select the favorite icon (). Be sure to select the icon within the Message composer, not the one in the header that is for dashboard Favorites.
  4. Enter a name and description.
  5. Select which composer step new messages will start from. You cannot change this setting later.

    When creating a message using the composer favorite:

    • If you select immediate delivery (Send Now) for the favorite and also select Audience or Content as the starting point step, the Delivery step will not be accessible.

  6. Select Save and exit.
