Email Templates, SMS Templates & Push Notifications (HCM) ​

This page documents three shipped Communications template screens (hcm-communications) — all sharing the same real lifecycle: Draft → In Review → Published → Archived, and a real Version number that increments as a template changes, so you're never silently editing a template that's already in use. Not for plugin developers.

Email Templates ​

Each template has a Code, Name, Category, and Language, and tracks Usage Count — a real count of how many times it's actually been sent, so you can see which templates are genuinely in use vs. dead weight.

SMS Templates ​

Same shape as Email Templates, plus what actually matters for SMS: a live Characters count, Segments (how many SMS message parts your text will be split into — costs and delivery reliability both depend on this), and Encoding, calculated as you type so you know before you publish, not after your first real send.

Push Notifications ​

Templates for title/body/deep-link/actions, with the same lifecycle and versioning, plus a Priority and Type per template.
