You manage all email templates from the email template table. Navigate to Administration > Global Settings > Email Templates.

Email Template Parameters
Message parameters are enclosed in double curly brackets, which are also highlighted in yellow. You select parameters from the right panel.

Use an Email Template in the Email Activity
To use an email template in the Email Activity, you need to select an HTML message format, either Html or Html (Markup only).
Message Tab
Where you define the Subject, Body, Email Template, and email message format.
Recipients Tab
The users you define in the To, CC, and BCC fields are plugged in to the corresponding message parameters in the email template.
Important Notes
- When you use an expression that contains HTML content (such as form data, HTML forms, HTML controls, rich text editors) in the body section of the Email Activity, you need to wrap the expression inside {{= }} to render the expression in HTML format. For example,
{{= {Form1}.Query("Form1")["Editor1"] }}.
