# Smart Templates

> Create reusable, fillable templates to streamline document and fax workflows in Amplify.

Smart Templates let you turn commonly used documents into reusable, fillable templates. Instead of recreating the same forms every time, you can prepare them once and send completed documents in just a few clicks.

They help teams stay consistent, reduce manual effort, and speed up everyday document workflows.

## Overview

With Smart Templates, you can:

* Reuse frequently sent documents and forms
* Add fillable fields for faster, error-free data entry
* Include standard elements like logos, disclaimers, and signatures
* Reduce repetitive setup and manual mistakes
* Send documents faster using a consistent format

## Common use cases

Smart Templates work well for many everyday business scenarios, such as:

* Client onboarding and intake forms
* Agreements and authorizations
* Internal approvals and confirmations
* Vendor or partner communications
* Routine outbound documents sent repeatedly

By standardizing these documents, teams save time and ensure every send follows the same structure.

## Accessing Smart Templates

1. Go to **Settings → Fax Settings → Smart Template**.
2. Choose between:
   * **My Templates** – Templates created by you or your team
   * **Gallery** – Ready-made templates you can customize and reuse

## Creating a new Smart Template

1. Click **New Templates**.
2. Upload or scan a document to use as the base.
3. When the editor opens, add content blocks and fillable fields as needed.
4. Click **Save** to store the template for future use.

<Note>
  Smart Templates are designed for reuse. Fillable fields can be completed each time before sending.

## Available content blocks

You can enhance your templates using built-in content blocks, including:

* Text
* Image
* Fax logo
* Standard disclaimers
* Badges
* QR code

These blocks help keep documents consistent and professional.

## Fillable fields

Smart Templates support multiple fillable field types, including:

* Fax number
* Text fields
* Email
* Company
* Date
* Signature
* Checkbox

Fields can be placed anywhere on the document and filled in before sending.

This is useful when you want to get started quickly without designing a template from scratch.
