# Create and edit message templates
|
|
|
|
You can use message templates to customize notification messages for the contact point types.
|
|
|
|
To create a message template:
|
|
|
|
1. In the Grafana menu, click the **Alerting** (bell) icon to open the Alerting page listing existing alerts.
|
|
2. In the Alerting page, click **Contact points** to open the page listing existing contact points.
|
|
3. From Alertmanager drop-down, select an external Alertmanager to create and manage templates for the external data source. Otherwise, keep the default option of Grafana.
|
|
{{< figure max-width="250px" src="/static/img/docs/alerting/unified/contact-points-select-am-8-0.gif" caption="Select Alertmanager" >}}
|
|
4. Click **Add template**.
|
|
5. In **Name**, add a descriptive name.
|
|
6. In **Content**, add the content of the template.
|
|
7. Click **Save template** button at the bottom of the page.
|
|

|
|
|
|
The `define` tag in the Content section assigns the template name. This tag is optional, and when omitted, the template name is derived from the **Name** field. When both are specified, it is a best practice to ensure that they are the same.
|
|
|
|
To edit a message template:
|
|
|
|
1. In the Alerting page, click **Contact points** to open the page listing existing contact points.
|
|
1. In the Template table, find the template you want to edit, then click the **Edit** (pen icon).
|
|
1. Make your changes, then click **Save template**.
|
|
|
|
To delete a message template:
|
|
|
|
1. In the Alerting page, click **Contact points** to open the page listing existing contact points.
|
|
1. In the Template table, find the template you want to delete, then click the **Delete** (trash icon).
|
|
1. In the confirmation dialog, click **Yes, delete** to delete the template.
|
|
|
|
Use caution when deleting a template since Grafana does not prevent you from deleting templates that are in use.
