If you find yourself sending the same types of messages repeatedly, SMS templates can save you time.
What Are SMS Templates?
Templates are pre-written messages that you can reuse. Instead of typing the same game reminder every week, you create a template once and select it whenever you need it.
How to Use a Template
- Start composing a new SMS message
- Look for the Templates option
- Select a saved template
- The message field will be populated with the template text
- Edit if needed, then send
Common Template Ideas
- Game reminder: "Reminder: Mahjong game tomorrow at [time] at [location]. See you there!"
- Schedule change: "Heads up β this week's game has been moved to [new date/time]. Same location."
- Cancellation: "Unfortunately, we need to cancel this week's game. We'll be back next week!"
- Welcome message: "Welcome to the group! Our next game is [date] at [location]. Looking forward to playing with you."
Tip: Keep templates generic enough to reuse, but add placeholders like [time] and [location] to remind yourself what to customize before sending.
