# Use notification templates

Use templates in contact points to customize your notifications.

In the Contact points tab, you can see a list of your contact points.

1. To create a new contact point, click New.

   **Note:** You can edit an existing contact by clicking the Edit icon.

2. Execute a template from one or more fields such as Message and Subject:

   {{< figure max-width="940px" src="/static/img/docs/alerting/unified/use-notification-template-9-4.png" caption="Use notification template" >}}

   For more information on how to write and execute templates, refer to [Using Go's templating language]({{< relref "./using-go-templating-language" >}}) and [Create notification templates]({{< relref "./create-notification-templates" >}}).

3. Click Save template.
