It would be great if we could assign specific timeline note templates to activity types. 
So when an activity type is selected, a note template is automatically applied by default.
Today, the user has to select a timeline note template manually- leaving the possibility of selecting the wrong template.

This feature would also prevent the user from forgetting to add the template which is a significant concern.

+1 this is a pain point for us. In addition to what’s been mentioned, this would help promote data consistencies, reduce uncertainty (e.g., user selecting wrong template or none at all), and contribute to a more efficient workflow.

Agree with all of the above - this feature request is of particular priority to us as we work toward designing a pooled CS team with a focus on cross-departmental collaboration.  Reduces inconsistencies, drives compliance, and allows for more accurate reporting.

Hi ​@revathimenon 

Could you please take a look at merging this idea with the one below? They appear to be tracking the exact same request:
 

 

Current Functionality vs. The Missing Piece

  • What we have: Currently, admins can restrict a note template so it is available only for specific activity types.

  • The Gap: We still cannot force a default template to automatically apply the moment a specific activity type is selected. Users must still manually select it from the dropdown, which leaves room for error.

 

Related & Larger Gap: Milestones

This limitation is even more restrictive when it comes to Milestones. Not only can we not set a "default template" for them, but there is currently no capability to map specific note templates to specific milestone types at all. All milestones are bundled into a single generic category.

I couldn't find an existing request for this, so I’ve created a new idea here: if anyone would like to upvote it:

Thanks!
