Creating effective message templates

Last updated: January 2025

Why Use Message Templates?

Message templates help you:

  • Save time by reusing proven messages
  • Maintain consistent branding
  • Personalize messages at scale
  • A/B test different approaches
  • Comply with messaging best practices
  • Template Variables

    Use these variables to personalize your messages:

  • `{first_name}`: Recipient's first name
  • `{last_name}`: Recipient's last name
  • `{username}`: Recipient's Telegram username
  • `{group_name}`: Name of the group they're from
  • `{date}`: Current date
  • `{time}`: Current time
  • Template Best Practices

    1. Start with a Personal Greeting

    Good: 'Hi {first_name}, I noticed you're interested in crypto trading...'

    Bad: 'Hey everyone, check out this amazing opportunity...'

    2. Provide Value First

    Lead with what you can offer, not what you want to sell.

    3. Keep It Concise

    Aim for 2-3 short paragraphs. Long messages get ignored.

    4. Include a Clear Call-to-Action

    Tell recipients exactly what you want them to do next.

    5. Add Social Proof

    Mention testimonials, user counts, or success stories.

    Testing Your Templates

    1. **Send to yourself first**: Always test templates before sending to your list

    2. **Check variable replacement**: Make sure all variables are replaced correctly

    3. **Test on mobile**: Most users read messages on mobile devices

    4. **A/B test variations**: Try different subject lines and CTAs

    5. **Monitor response rates**: Track which templates perform best
