2. Add a New Template
On the Email Templates page, first make sure that you're on the tab for "Customers" (not "Company").

For a survey request email, you'll most likely want to use:
- #SurveyTitle#
- #SurveyDescription#
- #SurveyRequestMessage#
- #SurveyUrl#
By inserting these dynamic elements into your email template, you'll be able to send a customized message with the right survey information for each customer and each survey. (If you don't understand these fields, start with our overview of dynamic elements.)
All of the above-mentioned fields are set on the Survey Settings Page. For a review, refer to our resource on how to create a new survey, which covers field in detail.
Email Trigger Options
Because you will be manually sending the survey request through the LISA admin, choose Manual.

Please keep in mind that this email template is simply a starting point to make it quicker and easier to request surveys from customers. Whenever you send a survey request, you'll start with an email template like the one you've just created—but you will still be able to make content and styling changes to the individual email before sending it.
