Overview

Email Templates combines the selected client's Inbox replies, dialer disposition follow-up emails, and campaign copy. Custom dispositions can combine status, campaign move, reporting, Slack, follow-up email, and domain-blacklist actions. SDR roles can review saved copy but cannot change it. A custom disposition can expose its latest matching call outcome as an employee-only read-only tab on Follow-ups. The option is off by default and creates no callback or dialing task. Clients with template-editing permission can edit the subject and body of existing disposition templates, then choose Save templates. Recipients, attachments, Slack, custom outcomes, and reporting settings remain under authorized internal control.

How to use this page

  1. Select the client and tab

    Choose the client, then open Inbox templates, Disposition email templates, or By campaign. Read-only roles see saved content without create, edit, test, attachment, custom-disposition, or save controls. Clients with template-editing permission receive copy-only editing for existing disposition emails. Configuration steps below apply to authorized internal editors.

  2. Choose which call results are shown

    For internal employees, open Settings > Phone > Dispositions to find Shown in dial sessions. Authorized ST managers, strategist directors, Admins and Executives can change the selected client’s visibility switches. Each change saves immediately and applies across campaigns when the dialer is opened or refreshed. Custom dispositions remain shared with Email Templates and require Save disposition settings. Client copy-only editing does not include these controls.

  3. Configure a disposition template

    Open Disposition email templates and expand a built-in or custom row. Configure the subject, formatted body, merge fields and Extra Cc (optional). Extra Cc is available for all standard disposition emails and meeting confirmations. For a custom disposition, it appears when subject or body content exists. Enter valid addresses separated by commas. Review attachments and Slack settings where available, then select Save disposition settings.

  4. Add a custom disposition

    Select Add custom disposition, enter the dropdown label, and choose any combination of contact status, target campaign, call and connection reporting, Follow-ups reporting, domain blacklist, Slack notification, and follow-up email. The row badges summarize the enabled contact actions.

  5. Add the contact domain to the blacklist

    Turn on Add domain to blacklist for the custom disposition. After Save disposition settings, a future call saved with that disposition extracts the selected contact's email domain and adds it to this client's domain blacklist. The action is off by default and does not rewrite existing contacts or call history.

  6. Understand client and campaign scope

    A client-level custom disposition applies across the client's campaigns unless a campaign has Override client disposition templates enabled. A campaign override replaces the client-level disposition behavior for that campaign, including whether the domain-blacklist action is on.

  7. Review before saving

    Use Preview draft to review representative merge values. Confirm Extra Cc addresses, attachments, Slack header, status and campaign actions, and the domain-blacklist choice. Then select Save disposition settings.

  8. Review campaign copy

    Open By campaign to see active campaigns by default. Include paused and completed campaigns expands the list. Open campaign, sequence, and step rows to inspect subjects, body previews, variants, winner markers, and paused state.

  9. Add a read-only Follow-ups report

    Inside a custom disposition, turn on Show as a Follow-Ups reporting tab, then choose Save disposition settings. Authorized employee views receive a tab named for the disposition. It shows a contact only while that outcome remains the contact's latest completed call. The report never creates a callback, Calendar entry, Pending action, or dialing task. Existing custom dispositions stay off until this option is selected.

  10. Update disposition copy as a client

    If your client type permits template editing, open Disposition email templates, expand an existing row with Edit, and change the subject or formatted body. Use Preview draft to check the wording, then Save templates. This preserves recipients, attachments, Slack notifications, custom actions, and template structure.

  11. Use scoped team-lead template controls when enabled

    On the enabled task-workflow client, authorized team leads can manage non-meeting disposition copy, labels and send triggers, plus attachments across the supported standard non-meeting disposition emails. Meeting and existing custom template copy can be edited without changing routing or actions. Custom disposition creation, notification settings and meeting routing are outside this access. BDRs retain read-only materials. Save the changes through the existing template controls.

  12. Review the current sending guidance

    Disposition follow-ups require Send Email in the Dialer. Asked for Info prompts review; other eligible outcomes offer an optional email. Saving settings does not send anything.

Common questions

When a future call is saved with that custom disposition, SalesHive adds the domain from the selected contact's email to the current client's domain blacklist.
No. The setting applies on future saved calls and does not rewrite existing contacts or call history.
No domain can be added. The rest of the saved disposition actions can still run.
Yes. Enable Override client disposition templates in Campaign Details and save that campaign's own custom disposition settings.
No. Internal SDR roles and the default client SDR type can review saved copy but cannot edit or save templates. A custom restricted client type must include permission to edit scripts and templates, and existing role limits still apply.
Yes. Enable the disposition and Slack notification, leave subject and body blank, and save.
No. It creates no callback, Calendar entry, Pending action, or Dialer task. It only exposes the latest matching call outcome in a read-only employee report.
No. It does not rewrite call history or contact status. The report evaluates current contacts from their latest completed call outcome after the option is enabled.
The selected client may assign you a view-only type. The default client SDR type can read scripts and templates but cannot change them. Client types are assigned separately for each client. Ask your SalesHive team to review access if needed.
No. Past results and email templates stay saved. Turn the result back on to make it available again, subject to the dialer workflow. Campaign template overrides do not override this client-wide visibility choice.
Read the error and retry. If the selected client changed, refresh and check the client before trying again. Wait for Disposition visibility saved before treating a change as saved.
Authorized editors can add attachments to each supported standard non-meeting disposition email, at client level or in an enabled campaign override. PDF, Word, Excel, CSV and text files are supported, up to 20 MB each and 25 MB total. Save the template changes; attachments are included when that disposition email sends. Meeting routing, custom actions and notification permissions remain separate. Other clients retain their existing Asked for Info attachment support.
Email subjects and bodies allow native browser spell checking. Suggestions depend on your browser language and spelling settings. There is no separate SalesHive spell-check button. Review suggested corrections before saving or sending; existing save and send steps still apply.
Keep a complimentary closing such as Best, or Cheers, if it suits your message. The configured sender signature is appended separately, so omit duplicate sender names, titles and signature blocks. Simple trailing sender name/title merge-field footers are removed when templates are loaded or used; the authored closing is preserved. Literal names, linked artwork and custom signature designs are not automatically guessed or removed, so review the final draft.
Extra Cc (optional) now supports every standard disposition follow-up template, meeting confirmations and custom disposition emails. Enter valid email addresses separated by commas and save the template settings. These recipients are copied when the SDR explicitly sends an email using the template. Duplicate addresses and the prospect address are excluded from the Cc list. Existing review requirements still apply. Meeting hand-offs keep their separate recipient rules: the meeting owner is To, the strategist and configured extras are removable Ccs, and the prospect is excluded.
The images show earlier views. Current standard and custom disposition email editors include Extra Cc (optional); follow the current page labels and the steps in this guide.
The template editor shows Review and send instead of automatic/manual send choices. Asked for Info prompts the SDR to review and send; other eligible call results offer the template as an optional email. The SDR must click Send Email. Confirming a call does not send a disposition follow-up. Meeting-email and separate campaign cadence rules remain unchanged. Saving template copy sends nothing.
Existing screenshots may show earlier labels or send-mode controls. Use Follow-up in the Dialer and Review and send in disposition template settings; follow the current steps above.
