Scroll to Choreographed introductions and click Create template.
From the Draft choreographed introductions template page, navigate to the Template setup panel to define details about the template itself, such as what type of new hire cohort should trigger this template, and when emails created by this template should be sent (based on the start dates for the new hire cohort).
| Template name | Provide a clear name that indicates when this template should be used. |
| Template description (optional) | Provide additional context about the purpose of this template. This will appear on the Emails configuration page. |

Navigate to the Email content panel to add the content of the email to be sent.
| To | Select who should receive emails created from this template. You can select or enter any combination of the following:

Click Save and exit when finished.
You will be returned to the Emails page. To begin sending your new Choreographed introductions email now, click the appropriate toggle in the Published column so a checkmark appears. If you do not want this email to begin sending automatically yet, ensure the toggle does not display a checkmark.
Once moved to a published status, the Choreographed introductions email will be sent automatically based on the schedule you defined when an applicable New Hire cohort starts.
Tip: Choreographed introductions emails are tied to a new hire's start date, and not to their onboarding plan. To prevent a specific new hire from appearing within the email, do not assign the new hire a startdDate.
