A template in Gmail Auto Follow Up by cloudHQ is a planned set of emails that are sent to people automatically at scheduled times, stopping when they reply or after all emails are sent. These templates help manage follow-ups, ensuring contacts get emails on time without manual sending each time. You can use these templates for emails you’ve already sent, while drafting new ones, or when starting a campaign.

Main Parts of a Template:

1. Initial Email Content: The first message you want to send to your contact.
2. Follow-Up Emails: Later messages sent automatically if there’s no reply to the first email. You can customize each follow-up and set when they go out.
3. Options: Settings like whether follow-up emails can be sent during weekends, whether links will be tracked, whether all recipients need to respond, BCC for your CRM, etc.

These templates automate follow-ups, so you don’t miss any chance to engage. This is great for sales, client communication, and managing ongoing projects.
