View, Search, and Filter Your Template List

Use the search field to locate a Template by name, channel or tag. Create tags and then use the tag filter to narrow your list view.

​
Organizing Templates

Each template has a unique identifier (Notification ID) that your application uses to reference it when sending notifications. You can also assign event aliases to templates for more readable API calls. Templates can be organized by:
  • Function: User onboarding, transactional notifications, marketing campaigns
  • Channel type: Email-only, SMS-only, multi-channel
  • Tags: Custom categories that match your business needs
The template list supports tagging, search, and bulk operations to help manage large template libraries efficiently. For more on tagging, see Notification Tags.
