Support email templates
Copy-and-paste customer-support replies for the scenarios you hit every day.
These free support email templates cover the scenarios every small support team runs into: refund requests, shipping delays, apologies, escalations, account access issues, and closing out resolved tickets. Each template is written in a warm-but-professional voice. Copy any of them, paste into your inbox, and fill in the {{...}} placeholders — like {{name}} for the customer and {{agent}} for you — before sending.
