Frequently Asked Questions

chevron_right Can I import templates from my previous CRM?
Yes, via Settings > Templates > Import. Tesoro accepts CSV format with columns: name, type, subject, content. Variables must be adapted to Tesoro syntax {{variableName}}.
chevron_right Can templates be in multiple languages simultaneously?
Tesoro currently supports one language per template. Create separate templates per language and tag them (e.g., "NL", "EN", "ES") for easy filtering.
chevron_right What if a variable is empty when sending?
Tesoro shows a warning before sending. You can: (1) Fill in manually, (2) Set fallback value in template (e.g., {{contact.firstName | "there"}}), or (3) Skip template and send free message.
