Shared Email Templates

Outlook email templates with a time picker

In your template, choose a place for a time picker and put the cursor there. Then select the Insert macro button on the template editor toolbar.
Select What to enter (WTE).
The What to enter dialog opens.
- On the General tab:
  - Select Time.
  - Enter the field name.
  - Select a time format.
  - Select a language.
  - With the Insert nested macro button, you can open a list of macros to nest and select the one you need.
  - With the Required checkbox selected by default, your template won’t be inserted into an email message unless a time is provided. Clear the checkbox if you prefer to make the time optional.
- On the Calculate tab, you can shift the current time forward or backward.
  With the Do not shift if time is picked manually checkbox selected by default, shifting won’t be applied if you select a time manually when using the template.
- If you switch to the Advanced tab, you can specify:
  - What value to insert into your email message if the result returned by the macro is not empty.
  - What value to insert into your email message if the result returned by the macro is empty.
  - What regular expression the value that will be entered or selected via the macro dialog must match.
  If you select the For Insert-if sections only checkbox, the value returned by the WhatToEnter macro won’t be inserted into an email message and will be used only for checking a condition.
When you’re ready, select OK.
A time picker shown with a WhatToEnter macro placeholder is added to your template. Select Save.

When you insert the template that has a time picker into an email message, a pop-up dialog will show up. You can keep the suggested time or select a different one.

Once you’re ready, select OK.
