This article explains how to create a template to use with opus1.io's PLUS Campaigns feature.
Note: using rich email templates for batch/marketing emails requires PLUS subscription.
1. Create your template
To create a template in Opus1.io, go to your left-hand navigation menu and go to the settings icon > templates

After you've dragged that element into the template, you can then edit:
Other options for editing those elements can be found by clicking into the element, and more options will appear related to just that box on the right hand menu. Types of changes you can make include font, colors, positioning, embedding links, and more:
2. Use the template in a campaign

From there you will follow the same steps to create & schedule the campaign as you would if you had created a new email (see How do I create an email campaign?)
To use a template in a batch email, navigate to the main schedule and click the Batch Email button. Then, click the CREATE SCHEDULED CAMPAIGN button.
Then, select your template from the Email Template field:
