Build reusable customer templates¶
Create reusable customer templates so you can provision new customers with the same settings every time.
Who this is for: partners (resellers)
Before you start¶
- The Manage Customers permission — this page is only visible if you have it.
- CSV bulk import isn't switched on in the portal yet — the Import tab is marked coming soon. Until it ships, add customers one at a time from the Customers page. What you can do today on this page is build and manage the reusable templates that speed up that manual provisioning flow.
Steps¶
- In the sidebar, under Customers, select Bulk Operations.
- Select the Templates tab.

Create a template¶
- Select Create Template.
- Enter a Template Name and, optionally, a Description.
- Under Resource Limits, set Max Extensions, Max DIDs, and an extension number range (Ext. Range Start / Ext. Range End) for customers provisioned from this template.
- Under Billing, choose a Billing Plan: Starter, Standard, Professional, or Enterprise.
- Under Default Settings, tick Enable Voicemail by Default and/or Enable Call Recording by Default as needed.
- Under Available Features, tick whichever of voicemail, recording, IVR, call queues, time conditions, conferencing, SMS, and fax you want switched on by default.
- Select Create Template to save it.

Clone, edit, or delete a template¶
- Select the Clone (copy) icon on any template — including the built-in System templates — to make your own editable copy.
- Select a template's row to expand it and see its extensions, DIDs, extension range, and enabled features at a glance.
- Select the Delete (trash) icon to remove a template you created. System templates can't be deleted, only cloned.
Use a template when provisioning¶
When you add a new customer from the Customers page, pick your saved template from the Quick Start with Template dropdown to pre-fill its extensions, DIDs, billing plan, and features automatically.
