There are two ways to create a template in Crono: manually, or by generating it with AI. Both start in the same place — open Crono and go to the Templates page, where all your templates are created and managed.
You can create templates for:
Email
LinkedIn message
LinkedIn invitation note — the optional note attached to a connection request
LinkedIn InMail
LinkedIn voice note
Call script
Click Create new to start.
Creating a template manually
Fill in:
Template title
Subject (email templates only — variables work here too)
Body text (full editing tools, plus variable insertion)
Language
Tags (to tie the template to a segment of contacts or companies)
You will also find:
Private toggle — templates are shared with your team by default, and colleagues can view and edit them. Turn this on to keep it visible and editable only to you.
Send test (email templates only) — sends a preview to your own inbox. Contact variables are filled with sample data, since no contact is selected. See How to preview an email with dynamic variables.
Create — saves the template.
Creating one while building a sequence
You are not limited to the Templates page. Inside a sequence, add a step and start typing directly in the text area, then click Save on the right of the template to store it for reuse.
Generating a template with AI
Click the Write with AI button inside the template.
This opens AI Chat with a pre-filled prompt, where you describe:
Your target audience
Your objective
The tone of voice you want
How long the message should be
The content is generated straight into the template editor.
Once generated you can edit it yourself, or ask the AI to refine it further — shorten it, change the tone, drop the bullet points, and so on.
Generating a template with AI consumes AI credits. Crono shows you the cost before you confirm — see Credits in Crono.
💡 For the best results, add a template title and subject before generating the content — the AI uses them as context.
