Global Templates are provided with your Interaction Studio account. While they need some configuration by a developer to work in your account, they provide an "out-of-the-box" framework for web campaign templates you can use to deliver personalized experiences and activation campaigns to web site visitors. 

This Article Explains

This article details the global templates available in Interaction Studio and where to find them.

Available Global Templates

New global templates are being developed and released regularly to meet a variety of use cases. The table below provides an overview of the standard configuration for each template, but the templates available for you to use to create a web campaign may differ in name and configuration options based on modifications made by the developer who customized each template for your site. Since each global template is just a starting point, your developer can make modifications to the ones in your site as needed to support your needs.

Each template has comprehensive documentation in the template itself so your developer will know what configurations are possible and how to make them. For example, with the Exit Intent with Email Capture template, a developer will need to create the attribute for the email address captured in the web campaign field. The instructions for doing this are included in the template for easy reference.

In addition, your developer will find documentation on using and building templates in the Interaction Studio developer documentation site.
