# Using templates

> How to draft emails with predefined templates in Loops.

Loops [templates](https://app.loops.so/templates) help you send professionally designed emails fast. Simply replace the placeholder content with your information, and you’re ready to go.

## Template Variations

Loops offers templates across each of the three [email types](https://loops.so/docs/types-of-emails):

### Campaign templates

[Campaigns](https://loops.so/docs/types-of-emails#campaigns) are the right type of email for a one-off send to your audience or a segment of your audience. These emails are a 1-to-many communication, meaning that the same exact email that you craft can (and probably will) be sent and read by a number of recipients or customers.

## Loops templates

[Loops](https://loops.so/docs/types-of-emails#loops) are emails triggered by an event, a contact being added to your audience, or a contact property update.

## Transactional templates

[Transactional](https://loops.so/docs/types-of-emails#transactional) emails are automated messages triggered by a specific contact action.

## How to use Loops templates

1. In your Loops account, hit “Templates” in the left-hand sidebar menu.
2. Browse our selection of `Loops`, `Campaign` and `Transactional` templates.
3. Select the template that most suits your needs.
4. Edit the template, replacing all placeholder information, links, and images with your content.

<Warning>
  Note: Remember to double-check all links (which can be places other than buttons) and link to the general section, as [dynamic content](https://loops.so/docs/creating-emails/personalizing-emails#add-dynamic-content-to-emails) can include data variables as well as other things.
</Warning>

5. Once your template is ready to test, send a test email to yourself to see how your design renders in the inbox.
