OneSignal Reusable Push Notification and Email Templates
Templates are reusable designs for push notifications and emails. They do support liquid syntax for Message Personalization.
The Templates page shows the list of templates you have created, and basic statistics on their performance (notifications opened and sent).


Create Templates
To create a new template, click the New Push Template or New Email Template button. This brings you to a page identical to the Push or Email Creation page, but instead of sending a message, you are modifying options to create a template.
Templates may also be created by duplicating previous templates from the Templates page:


Sending Messages using Templates
Once you've created a template, to send it using that template click the Options button and click New Message.


This will pre-populate the template options you've set into a new message. You can override these options (such as changing text, an icon, etc) when creating a message, by simply filling in different options. For details on these options, see:
Using templates to track performance of recurring messages
Whenever you send a message with a template, its overall performance is tracked by OneSignal in the Templates page of your Dashboard.
Best practice is to have different templates for each use case so you can monitor how well your template campaigns are converting.
