Tired of retyping the same email replies over and over?

In this episode, Charly covers:

✅ How to enable Gmail templates in your account settings

✅ Using templates in new messages and replies
✅ How to add formatting, images, and links to make templates look professional
⭐ A handy tip for using AI to generate nicely formatted template content
