# Message Templates
> Turn great connections into great conversations with messaging that's personal, professional, and proven to get replies.
## Send messages that get noticed, without the manual grind
CapitalxAI's Message Templates give you a curated library of high-converting email and LinkedIn drafts. They're built from templates that have worked for founders like you, and they're designed to be personalized in seconds with AI.
Think of it as having a top-tier fundraising coach suggesting your next line—for every stage of the conversation, from the first cold email to the follow-up after a meeting.
These aren't just static documents. They integrate directly with your investor intelligence. Use dynamic placeholders to auto-fill names, firm details, or specific references (like a recent tweet) to make each message feel one-of-one—even though you sent it at scale.

## How to use Message Templates
Think of this as your command center for all outbound communication. Here's how it works.
### Generate with AI
Click **Generate with AI** and tell the system what you need—like "a warm follow-up email after a conference." It will draft a professional template for you, inspired by high-response messages from our community. You can then edit it to fit your voice.
### Create a new template
Press the **Create Template** button to build your own from scratch.
Select **Email**, **LinkedIn**, **Direct Message**, or **Instagram**. This helps you organize and send the right message on the right platform.
Name it for easy finding later, like "Series A First Touch – Climate Tech."
Write your message body. This is where the magic happens—use placeholders to auto-fill personal details that make every message feel handwritten.
Click **Create** when you're done, or **Cancel** to discard. Build your library once, and deploy flawless, personalized outreach every time.

## Crafting your template with placeholders
Use dynamic placeholders to auto-fill personal details. When you send the message, these placeholders are replaced with real data from the investor's profile.
### Example template
```text Subject: Connecting on ${twitter_line} theme={null}
Hi ${cleaned_name},
${twitter_line} I just read your tweet about sustainable aviation fuel
and it resonated strongly with our work at [Your Company].
${line1} I saw Accel's recent investment in GreenFlyte, which is
why I'm reaching out.
${line2} I believe your experience in climate tech could greatly
benefit us as we pioneer a new approach to fuel certification.
${additional_line} I particularly admired your post last month about
scalable verification—it's exactly the challenge we're solving.
Would you be open to a brief chat next week? I'm free on
${followUpRelativeDay} or ${followUpDateOnly}.
Best,
[Your Name]
```
### How placeholders work
Simply insert these curly-bracket variables into your template. When you go to send, CapitalxAI populates them seamlessly, making each message feel personally crafted.
| Placeholder | What it does | Example output |
| ------------------------ | -------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------- | ------------------------------------------------ |
| `${cleaned_name}` | Inserts the firm name or the individual's first name, based on best practices. | "Accel" or "John" |
| `${twitter_line}` | Pulls in a relevant tweet or topic from the investor's profile to create an instant, genuine connection point. | "I saw your thread on vertical SaaS…" |
| `${line1}` | A research-backed opening line referencing a recent investment or thesis point. | "I saw Accel's recent investment in GreenFlyte…" |
| `${line2}` | A personalized line connecting your company to the investor's focus area. | "Your experience in climate tech…" |
| `${additional_line}` | An optional placeholder to add a personal touch or observation for additional message customization. | "I visited your office in May…" |
| `${followUpRelativeDay}` | Auto-calculates a suggested meeting day, intelligently skipping weekends and holidays. | "this Tuesday" |
| `${followUpDateOnly}` | Auto-calculates and inserts a specific date for the follow-up. | "February 12" |
Date placeholders are calculated at send time, so your suggested meeting dates are always current and relevant—no manual calendar checking required.
