# Work with your email templates from the chat

Before launching a mass email, it's always worth reviewing the template: that personalized data displays correctly, that the subject line isn't truncated, that the design looks right. Normally that means opening the editor, finding the template, previewing it and sending yourself a test.

With Nevent AI you can do that review from the chat. The assistant can preview the template with data from a real contact, clone it for a new campaign, or send you a test directly to your email.

Sofía, community manager of a nightclub, has four base templates she rotates each week. Before using one, she asks the assistant to show it with the data of a specific attendee to check that the personalization works.

## What you can ask

Available in "Read-only" mode and above:

- "List all my email templates"
- "Which templates have I used in the last 3 months?"
- "Show me the full content of the 'Purchase confirmation' template"
- "How many times has the 'Monthly newsletter' template been used?"
- "Preview the 'Weekly schedule' template with data from a real attendee"

## What the assistant can prepare for you

Read and prepare Available in Read and prepare mode or higher.

Beyond querying, the assistant can:

- **Create a new template** — describe the content and the assistant generates the base structure in your account
- **Update a template** — modify the subject line, content or tags of an existing template
- **Clone a template** — duplicate a template to use as the base for a variant without modifying the original
- **Rename a template** — change the name without touching the content
- **Preview with real data** — the assistant resolves personalization variables using a sample contact
- **Send a test** — send the test email to up to 10 recipients to validate the design in a real inbox

Use the preview with real data feature before launching any campaign with personalization. That way you catch any variable like name or event that appears blank.

## How Sofía uses it before each weekly send

Sofía has a template called 'Weekly schedule' that she uses every Wednesday. Before creating the campaign draft, she wants to make sure the personalization works correctly.

> "List my templates and tell me when I last used each one"

The assistant shows the four active templates with the date of last use.

> "Preview 'Weekly schedule' with data from a real attendee"

The assistant resolves the variables (name, city, next event) with data from a contact in the database and shows how the email would look in the inbox.

> "There's a variable that appears blank. Rename the template 'Weekly schedule v2' and update the welcome field to have fallback text if the name is empty"

The assistant updates the template.

> "Send me a test to my email before using it in the campaign"

The assistant sends the test email. Sofía reviews it in her inbox — everything looks correct.

> "Create a campaign draft using 'Weekly schedule v2' for the 'Active last 30 days' segment"

The reviewed template is ready for Wednesday's campaign.

## Combine it with

- [Campaigns](/en/nevent-ai/what-you-can-do/campaigns/) — use the reviewed template in a campaign draft
- [Audience and segments](/en/nevent-ai/what-you-can-do/audience/) — create the right segment for the campaign using this template
- [Use case: diagnosing an underperforming campaign](/en/nevent-ai/use-cases/diagnosing-an-underperforming-campaign/)

## What it cannot do yet

- It cannot edit the visual design (blocks, colors, images) from the chat — that is done in the Nevent visual editor
- It cannot import templates from other platforms (Mailchimp, Klaviyo)
- Creating templates from scratch is functional but produces basic HTML; for more elaborate designs use the visual editor
