Briskine: Email templates for Gmail™
Description from store

Write emails faster with templates.

Create templates out of repetitive pieces of text. Insert them in your emails within seconds with shortcuts, and respond faster to your customers!
➤ Use for: Customer Support, Sales, Personal productivity.
➤ Officially supported: Gmail™, Outlook.com, Facebook, LinkedIn, and more.

★ Keyboard shortcuts (or snippets)
You’re always ending your emails with “Kind regards, Ken”? With keyboard shortcuts, you can type ‘kr’ and then press the ‘TAB’ key and get the same result only faster!

★ Create your own templates
You find yourself writing repetitive pieces of text in your emails? Make it a template! So now, you can use a shortcut to insert this template and respond to an email within seconds.
Templates are comparable to Canned Responses in Gmail™, or Macros in Zendesk, but are faster and easier to customize.

★ Variables
Most of your emails start with “Hello firstname”? Press ‘h’ and then the ‘TAB’ key and it will write “Hello Jennifer” (if you’re writing to Jennifer, of course ; ) )

★ Search
Don’t remember your shortcuts? Search and insert templates right inside the Compose box.

★ Share templates with your team (Premium)
Make sure everyone has access to all the company templates and set a tone for your external emails using templates.

Super tool for sourcers/recruiters!

María del Carmen Ramos Trejo 2025-09-21

Super helpful, specially when it´s for businness accounts management. I highly recommend Briskine.

Paul Skelton 2025-09-17

Very helpful timesaver.

Rajat Chatterjee 2025-08-28

This is a very helpful dynamic snippet tool , It has handlebars customization support so its quite versatile if you can learn it (It's not that hard and will take a few hours to get the hands on). But the basic functions is something everybody can use

Gale Weithers 2025-08-05

Easy to use and so convenient for those evergreen templates! Excellent app!

Alison Jackson 2025-07-11

What a life saver! Saves so much time when I'm trying to clear our general email inbox. Also, why recreate the wheel for commonly asked questions. I desperately wish I could use it Google Docs and convince my employer to buy it for our team. Unfortunately, I don't foresee that happening anytime soon. The pop-up dialog box is great because I can't remember all of the shorthand names that I created.

Sasha G. 2025-06-17

One of the best and useful add-ons! It significantly cuts down work time, is very easy and intuitive to use. Totally recommend it, especially for recruiters !

Pim Verberne 2025-06-16

This saves a lot of time, Great ! (18 okt 2022) 16 June 2025 : Review Update after nearly 3 years of use : A shame I cannot give 10 starts. Highly recommended.

A great APP

Brande Wood 2025-04-23

I love Briskine templates! I find Google's to be frustrating - not easy to access and not user friendly. But Briskine's are fantastic. I appreciate being able to put subject lines, to:, cc:, from:, attachements, and more all in a template! It saves me a lot of time.

Brittany Lambright 2025-04-18

Love this extension! It's super handy when emailing from Outlook or my company's system/ERP (which is a web version and accessed through a browser). For reference, I usually use the shortcuts (I keep a cheat sheet at my desk) and the only time I ran into issues was when my Company's security blocked the extension, but I was able to easily work through that! HIGHLY RECOMMEND!

Florida TC 2025-04-16

Good extension but it becomes slow when you put a lot of templates. It thinks a lot when searching one on gmail

John Fox 2025-04-11

Simple to use and quite powerful. Saves so much time and much easier than copying & pasting. We recently switched from Gmail to Outlook and the templates I created for Gmail work fine for Outlook. It works in most programs as well, I can use the templates almost everywhere when on my computer. Formatting is easy if you know html, but not so much if you don't. There is plenty of simple formatting one can do within the Briskine environment. Once the template is inserted into the email body, it is easy to edit it at that point.

Ever since I learned about this amazing productivity tool, I've been saving time typing the same responses over and over. Thank you for creating this amazing tool. Used to use macros in the day, but this extension is so much better. Thank you. I highly recommend it to anyone who needs to save time and get the job done accurately and quickly.

Mia Huck 2024-04-21

New user here - OBSESSED! I have been searching for a template manager for months, now. It's been very difficult due to limitations through my work and pricing. I'm over the moon I found Briskine! I LOVE the features and the ease of use. The free plan is very nice, too! I'm so excited for this! One request - could you work on a Microsoft add-in, so Briskine can be used for desktop programs, too? This is my ultimate goal. If you do, I will be subscribing for sure. Thank you so much!

Caeden Goering 2024-04-09

Updated review: Well Briskine, you've done it. Took away attachments for free users. While I was previously a raving fan (please see glowing review below) you have now traded user experience for profit, and are losing a customer. I hadn't hit my 30 templates yet - and planned to upgrade when I did. But I will not support companies who seek to make the experience worse to drive profit. I will not be using Briskine anymore. I will not upgrade to add attachments. Having experienced the incredible heights of the free plan, I will not upgrade to get back what I used to have. It is not about cost, it's about principle. Companies need to stop doing this. Enough is enough. Stop taking away useful features from a free plan to force people to pay. It's bad business, and it leaves a bad taste in customer's mouths. Stop punishing the user for depending on your product. That's a good thing. I have highly recommended this app to many people. You are losing lifetime customers by trading value for profit. Well done, guys. Hope this is what you wanted. Old review before making free account useless: Briskine is an absolute hero to my email. And it works with Outlook, too! I have been using Outlook templates for years. They work (in a pinch) but it takes time for the app to open, load, etc. Plus, you have to switch out your old signature on Outlook templates - and you can't use any automation for names. I prefer Outlook on the web - but you can't use Outlook templates there. For years - using Outlook templates in the desktop all was as good as it possibly gets. Along comes Briskine - an immediate productivity boost! It automatically calculates how many minutes it's saved me - but I think it's way too low. Not only would I have to retype these emails - I would have to reconstruct them from my head if I didn't know what I saved it as. Half the time my Outlook would be sluggish trying to load old emails, attachments, etc. Briskine is truly an a plug in I can't live without. I use the free version, which has been more than sufficient. It autofills blazing fast. As long as you have an email address ready, or at least in your contacts, you can send a robust, detailed email with attachments in under 10 seconds. WOW. Thank you, Briskine!

Excellent, very happy and would highly recommend.

Good

Michele Kerr 2024-03-12

Really good when the extension stays on my gmail; sometimes it just disappears and I have to remove the extension and readd it

Sanja Samardzija 2024-02-22

The best extension!

Fredy Calix 2024-02-05

Really good extention. I found just what I was looking for. :)

mike pasini 2024-01-14

For the most part this extension has superb for my workflow, however the extension is not currently working with Microsoft outlook office account email on google chrome. I tried using it on a different broswer on Microsoft Edge, and it's not working for on the web browser neither.

David Moore 2024-01-06

Superb - I use it all the time. Never failed me, never lost my templates, just keeps on making my life easier. So grateful it's free and robust. Only improvements I'd make would - - be able to set the cursor position after a fresh insert (into the body of the text for me) - block some aspects of the text so the whole 'group' could be deleted en masse.

Manu Konar 2023-11-18

Still don't believe how most of the features are free. Briskine has given atleast 20 hours of my week back. Super thankful for your existence. Keep up the great work guys!

Been waiting for a year for it to support groups.google.com inbox (based on gmail) and still nothing :(

Darius “Joe Rock” Thompson 2023-10-23

I think that the app is upon average a fairly easy app to maneuver in, and it really does add a few more responsibilities to my press team. It enables them to be more creative, as well as, think outside the box concerning marketing and other campaigns that we run each season.Thank you BriskLine
