# Create message templates

To create a message template, you must use the `NewslattersManager` class. First, you initialize the `NewslettersManager`. Then, you call `CreateMessageBody` to create a message template. Finally, after all properties are set, you save the changes.

The following code creates a message template with specific *ID*, *Name*, *BodyText*, and *MessageBodyType* with the Native API:

1. ```C#
    using System;
    using System.Collections.Generic;
    using System.Linq;
    using System.Text;
    using System.Threading.Tasks;
    using Telerik.Sitefinity.Modules.Newsletters;
    using Telerik.Sitefinity.Newsletters.Model;
    
    namespace Telerik.Sitefinity.Documentation.CodeSnippets.DevGuide.SitefinityEssentials.Modules.EmailCampaigns
    {
        public partial class EmailCampaignsSnippets
        {
            public void CreateMessageBody(Guid id, string name, MessageBodyType bodyType, string bodyText, bool isTemplate)
            {
                NewslettersManager manager = NewslettersManager.GetManager();
                MessageBody messageBody = manager.GetMessageBodies().Where(b => b.Id == id).SingleOrDefault();
    
                if (messageBody == null)
                {
                    messageBody = manager.CreateMessageBody(id);
                    messageBody.Name = name;
                    messageBody.MessageBodyType = bodyType;
                    messageBody.BodyText = bodyText;
                    messageBody.IsTemplate = isTemplate;
                    manager.SaveChanges();
                }
            }
        }
    }
    
   ```

> info **NOTE**: To create a campaign with auto-generated ID, use the other overload of the `CreateMessageBody` method.\
> To indicate that the message body must be used as a template, you must set the `IsTemplate` property to `true`.
