Targeted Email: Handshake Templates

Handshake templates are a time-saving way to send targeted emails to students and employers that are pre-built for a variety of important workflows in Handshake.

To learn how to access the templates, see Create and send targeted emails

Note: If you have drafted an email that you want to save as a custom template, we recommend that you create a draft of the email and leave it as a draft. When you create a new email, you can copy the content from the draft!
