Automatically insert a date in an Outlook email
In this article
With the Shared Email Templates add-in, you can add an auto-fillable date field to your template so that the current date is inserted into an Outlook email automatically whenever you use the template. You can also have the current date shifted forward or backward by the number of days, months, or years you specify.
In the template you’re creating or editing, place the cursor where you need a date placeholder.
On the template editor toolbar, select the
Insert macro button.Select Insert date.
The Date dialog appears.
On the General tab, select a date format and a language.
On the Calculate tab, shift the current date forward or backward if needed.
When finished, select OK.
Save your template.
Each time you use the template, the date (either the current date or the shifted date, depending on your settings) is inserted automatically.
