# Create an email recipe from template

A webhook recipe will detect and retrieve newly generated Alerts, Stories, or Leads and send the information to specified recipients via email.

**To create an email recipe from template:**

****Step 1: Open the required template****

1. From the Hunters menu, navigate to **Workflows > Workflow Manager**. ![image.png](https://cdn.document360.io/5f63f0e0-3c70-4d00-b623-82493be0bde5/Images/Documentation/image%28237%29.png)
2. Under **Projects**, navigate to **Automated Workflows > Automation Templates**. ![](https://cdn.document360.io/5f63f0e0-3c70-4d00-b623-82493be0bde5/Images/Documentation/image(12).png)
3. Locate the recipe you want to create (Alert, Story or Lead), click on the **…** menu and then select **Clone**. This will ensure you don’t override the template so you can use it again in the future. ![](https://cdn.document360.io/5f63f0e0-3c70-4d00-b623-82493be0bde5/Images/Documentation/Create email recipe from template - Clone.jpg)

💡More options

You can further adjust the email settings by following one or more of these steps:

**Edit the email subject**

Use the **Subject** field to adjust the email subject line. You can use [data pills](https://docs.workato.com/recipes/data-pills-and-mapping.html) to enrich the subject with Hunters information, such as Alert/Lead/Story UUID, Risk, Detection time, Assignee, Status, and more.

**Design the email**

You can design the email using HTML by editing the existing HTML in the **Message** field. You can also use a simple text email by switching the **Email type** field to **Text**.

**Add CC and BCC recipients**

Click on **Show additional fields** to add the **CC** and/or **BCC** fields.

****Step 4: Save and activate the recipe****

1. Once done, click **Save** and then **Exit**.
