The Briskine Bubble (also known as the floating B button, or quick-action button) is now visible on Outlook and LinkedIn!

Previously only available on Gmail, the bubble has received many improvements and can be used on more websites now. We’ve improved its positioning and tweaked its looks, so it stays out of your way when typing, but is still close by when you need your templates.

We also added right-to-left support, so the bubble is placed on the left side when the website you’re on is using a right-to-left script.

We’re working on making the bubble available on as many websites as possible.

We’re changing our name. From now on, Gorgias Templates is Briskine.

This change marks an important milestone in the work we’ve done so far, and the plans we have for the future. It renews our long-term commitment to the Briskine browser extension and app.

Gorgias Templates was started in 2015 by Alex Plugaru as an open-source Chrome extension. Since then, many other people have added their contribution to it. We’ve also added many useful features and made it available on all popular web browsers.

Meanwhile, Alex and Romain Lapeyre have focused their efforts on the Gorgias company and ecommerce helpdesk, helping merchants everywhere deliver exceptional customer service.

We do our best work when we’re focused on one thing, so with the name change, we’re bringing renewed focus to the extension. Briskine will be managed by Ionuț Colceriu, one of the original developers, and, in the coming months, we will be transitioning the app to a different company.

You will notice the new logo and design, but, other than that, nothing changes for you. Your data, and the way we handle it, stays the same and is just as safe.

We hope the new identity will grow on you.

Please visit our updated site at briskine.com, and try out the extension. If you’re already a customer, thank you!

Template variables are now supported on LinkedIn Sales Navigator.

Recruiters, human resources, and sales teams use Gorgias Templates with LinkedIn daily to increase their productivity. We’ve supported dynamic variables in templates on LinkedIn for messages, posts, and comments for a while. Since Sales Navigator is a separate app, we've had limited support for text fields there.

You can now use the {{from}}, {{to}}, or any other variables to insert names or other data automatically and speed up your workflow on Sales Navigator.

See the full list of dynamic variables that you can use in templates.

We have great news for macOS users. Gorgias Templates is now available for Safari!

You can download Gorgias Templates from the App Store on your Mac and speed up writing all your emails and messages.

After you install the app and enable the extension in Safari ➝ Preferences, the familiar G button will show up in the Safari toolbar at the top.

Click the G button to allow the extension to run on the current website, or on all the websites you visit.

Once you’ve allowed the extension to run, you’ll be able to use all the features you’re used to. The G button in Gmail, the autocomplete dialog, template inserting with the Tab key and template synchronization will all work seamlessly.

If you already have an account, all of the templates you’ve used on other browsers are now also available on Safari.

Here's a quick tip to help you insert snippets of text and avoid your cursor from jumping to the next line of text.

This will save you precious time and your keyboard will thank you for it.

Let's say you're sending the same email to several clients, but you want to give it a personal touch. Or, you often reply with the same information to customer questions and need a custom ending. We've got you covered.

How it's done

Open the Gorgias Templates dashboard and follow these 3 steps:

• Open a new or existing template.
• Press the Source Code button in the rich text editor.
• Add style="display: inline-block" to the first div element in the template source code.

For example, if your initial template source code looks like:

<div>Template with inline cursor</div>

After you've added the extra code, it should look like:

<div style="display: inline-block">Template with inline cursor</div>

Protip

If your template has more than one paragraph, make sure to add style="display: inline-block" to the div of your last paragraph as well.
