# Customising automated confirmation email templates

> Learn about customising automated confirmation email templates in ServiceM8.

ServiceM8 has default email templates in place to send a professional confirmation when a customer books a service online. However, you may want to create your own custom templates to better suit your processes or brand.

As with other emails generated automatically by ServiceM8, if you create an email template named the same as the default email template, your customised template will be used.

**To customise a customer confirmation email template:**

1. Go to **Settings > Email Templates**.
