@@higgor_piloto Yes, unfortunately it's not available to all editions.. You can access the builder (and permissions) in Playground (Developer edition too), but that's all for now
Excellent video and very clearly demonstrated! I'm new to Salesforce and am trying to figure out if I can have an email be automatically generated to a new lead that arrives in from our website using Salesforce Web-to-Lead. Do you know if that's possible? Many thanks in advance!
Hi John, thanks much appreciated! Sure thing, you can either use a form on your website and convert these forms into leads web-to-lead, or you'll have you do some more configuring with web-to-case then a flow that turns cases into leads. It shouldn't be too complex, check if you can follow this guide www.google.com/amp/s/automationchampion.com/2020/12/17/email-to-lead-with-the-help-of-salesforce-flow/amp/
@@salesforceatlas Thanks for your reply! We already have web-to-lead setup and working. Now I want Salesforce to auto generate an email to these new leads. So when a new lead comes in, Salesforce sends them a welcome email automatically. How would I set that up? TIA!
@@johnshipps441 Alright, I see. Yes, a new Flow will help you in this task. You need a record-triggered Flow for leads object and specify to trigger it when a record is created only (your new lead). You can add any other conditions like email field is not blank etc. Then add the 'send email alert' element and test/activate your flow (make sure you have create an email alert in setup, and you'll need to add an email template to this email alert).
Hi, Thanks for the wonderful explanation. I did exactly as you said. Created and added the permission set and enabled the folders and enhanced sharing. However I don’t see the edit with builder button in my email template record. I see only the edit button. Can you please help. Thanks in advance.
Hello, I have a requirement that i need to include child object field values in the builder. Is there a work around for it ? to include the child object data in template? i will be sending a email from custom object
Hi Reshma, thanks for reaching out. I would start with creating extra values for status field on cases via object manager then depending on the steps/work you're planning to do add a record-triggered flow that would update cases automatically based on some criteria
Hi there, have you assigned the permission to use the builder? You won't see the button without the permission. Have a look its in the beginning of the video.
Hi MK, thank you! 😊 In the email template builder click on the block and go to 'style' in the right hand side. There you can change the background color to white or add a background image and update 'body' color & margin. I would go with white color the blocks seem to be fixed size.
@@salesforceatlas Thanks so much for your reply! I wonder what the thought was in putting the large blocks on either side - a Salesforce kind of branding, perhaps? Anyway, much appreciate your video. Might you have done one on creating Enhanced Letterheads in Lightning?
@@MK-gz6ws Perhaps, not their branding but a way to adapt to different screen sizes (phones, tablets and PCs). There are some other email generating systems that also use these blocks on each side. Yes, good idea! I am considering to do a video about it 😊
Hi Elias, please watch the beginning of the video I'm showing it step-by-step. Note that the builder is only available to specific Salesforce editions like developer, enterprise and few others
@@salesforceatlas I already watched it. I have builder in Sandbox and Production, and in Sandbox this button shows up ("Edit in Builder") while in production it does not shows up. Is there any permission somewhere how to add this button?
@@salesforceatlas These are the steps: Create a permission set Under System Permission, check "Access drag-and-drop content builder" Manage Assignments (Assign permission to some users) you were right, answer is at beginning of the video. Thanks !
Thanks very much!!!! Template email works fine, however I tried to add a link on the email and it came with the full link (rather than the hyperlink name I had specified). Is there something I have to do to solve this?
Hi there, the builder is available to Professional, Enterprise, Unlimited, Performance, and Developer Editions. See if your edition meets the requirements.
@SalesforceAtlas Thanks for a great video! Do you really need to be an admin to have the right to create email templates? My marketing user (that is not an admin) gets the error: "Insufficient access rights on Cross Reference Id". I have given the user the permission to create templates and use folders. Thanks!
Hi Solbritt, looks like they can't access objects/records that they're are trying to reference in the template. See if their profile has read or read/write access to those objects or even specific records
I created an emailt emplate in lightning and when I try to insert that template into an email to a lead, it says I have no templates. I can't spernd anuy more hours doing this. NO TUTORIALS HELP ME, Awful user experince
Very helpful and the most straightforward video on TH-cam about HTML templates in SalesForce Lightening! Thank you for such an amazing contribution!
Thank you, Sarmad!
I love that you start with the permission set!!!!
Brilliant! The initial setup was just what I needed.
Thanks, Wendy! 😊
You are the best!!! everytime I get lost you find a way to lighten the path haha
@@MarvinTobar-r7t Thanks, Marvin! 😊 Good luck!
I love how thorough this is!
Thanks, Trevor! 😊
Amazing content even 2024!!
Excellent information. Is it possible to create another video using flows instead of workflow to send the email? Thank you again for your time.
Hi, thanks a lot! There already should be a video with Flow :)
Thank you for the video, you did a fantastic job.

Hi. Is there a way that these salesforce lightning email templates can be used on the Account Engagement (Pardot) end of things?
Hi,
Thanks for the wonderful explanation. I did exactly as you said. Created and added the permission set and enabled the folders and enhanced sharing. However I don’t see the edit with builder button in my email template record. I see only the edit button. Can you please help.
Thanks in advance.
Hi! You have to enable it in settings. See the beginning of the video :)
Thanks a lot for this. Is the email builder available in Essential package?
Hi Salome, unfortunately not. Available in: Professional, Enterprise, Unlimited, Performance, and Developer Editions
Hi thank you for the effort you are making
is really helpful
Hi Nabil, I'm glad you find it useful. Thank you! 😊
Thanks for the video. I have a question, how do you justify text in the email? You only have the left, center and right bottoms.
Hi Marlon, it may take extra work but you can try styling your rich text and playing with margins.
Great tutorial, Thanks! 👍
Thanks, Thorstein! 🙂

Is it possible to reference these templates using Outlook for Salesforce plug in?
Thank you for the tutorial. Are we able to re-size or remove the large blocks of color of either side of the text? They seem so out of proportion.
