For Remind Hub administrators and class owners. 

When your organization frequently sends similar announcements to its community, you can help other administrators or teachers save time crafting messages by creating templates on common topics such as welcome and end-of-the-year messages, school closure updates, and school events. This will ensure everyone on your team communicates the same information to parents and students in a consistent and uniform way.


Create a template from the Composer (Web only)

 

  1. Log in to your Remind account on the web.
  2. Select Message and choose the recipients.           Message - composer.png
  3. Type your message. Optional - Add a file to the message or translate it.
  4. Click the Template icon .
  5. Choose Save as a template.                                                                                      Save as a template.png
  6. Enter the Template Name.
  7. Select the organization that will have access to the template in the Owned by section. 
  8. Check who in the organization can use the template in the Intended for section.Create a template - composer.png
  9. Click Create and then Discard since you're not sending the message now.Discard message.png
