How do I recreate an existing invite template?

In Spotler FeedbackPro, you cannot copy an existing invite template directly, but you can copy its complete styling into a new template using the Export MJML and Import MJML options. This is faster than rebuilding the design by hand. Invite templates are managed under Settings Invite templates.

On this page, the following topics are covered:

Before you start

Settings Invite templates shows an overview of all current templates. If you want to reuse the design of an existing template, first copy its MJML code, then create the new template.

Copy the styling of an existing template

  1. Go to Settings Invite templates and open the template whose styling you want to reuse.
  2. Click the code icon (the two angle brackets with a slash between them).
  3. The Export MJML window opens, showing both the MJML code and the HTML code of the template.
  4. Select all the code in the MJML box on the left and copy it.

Copy the MJML code, not the HTML code

Only MJML can be imported back into a template, so make sure you copy the code from the MJML box, not the HTML box.

Create the new template

  1. Go back to Invite templates and click New template in the top-right corner.
  2. Fill in the template details:
    • Template name: the name shown in the invite templates overview, for example Invitation NPS – English.
    • Language: for example English. This also determines the language the survey opens in, as long as that language is available in the survey itself.
    • Email subject text: the subject of the invitation email.
    • Sender name: the name the recipient sees as sender, for example Brand X.
    • Sender email address: the address the invitation is sent from, for example noreply@brandx.com.
    • Preheader: the short preview text shown next to or below the subject in the inbox.
    • Fallback metadata: the value shown when a recipient has no value for that metadata field, for example Brand X when the Brand field is empty.
  3. Save the details to open the template editor.

Import the styling into the new template

  1. In the template editor, click the download icon (the arrow pointing down into the tray). Hovering over it shows Import MJML.
  2. The Import MJML window opens with an empty code field.
  3. Paste the MJML code you copied from the other template into the code field.
  4. Click Import.

The complete styling of the earlier template is now applied to the new template. From here, you can make any textual changes you need, for example a different heading, intro text, or button label, and save the template. Adjusting all styling manually is also possible, but importing the MJML code of an existing template is faster and keeps both templates visually identical.

You now have a new invite template that matches the look and feel of your existing one, ready to be selected when you send out invitations.
