#### Create a messaging template
1. From the left navigation menu, select  **\[Engage] → Partners** → **Automation** → **Messaging Templates**.
2. In the upper-right corner, select **Create Messaging Template**.
3. If you want to apply an existing template,  **\[Toggle on]** **Messaging Template** and select an existing messaging template from the  **\[Drop-down menu]** **Select Template**.
4. Enter your messaging template details:

\[Toggle on] to include a Cc or Bcc email recipient in addition to the partners in your chosen segment.
• You can add 1 email address to the Cc field and 1 to the Bcc field.

* See the *Dynamic fields reference* below for more info about these fields.
