    Templates +AI

    In Spark Premium, you can use email templates to save time when writing similar emails regularly. You can create your own templates for reports, pitches, guides, updates, etc. When composing an email, choose the needed template, and Spark adds the recipient's name or highlights the places you need to modify for this specific recipient.

    Tip: If you are an existing Spark 2 user - all free features you had in Spark 2 (including Templates) remain free on the new version of Spark.
