Snippets

What are snippets?

Snippets are reusable text blocks in Tallyfy. Save them once, insert them anywhere - templates, tasks, comments. When you update a snippet, every place that uses it gets the new version automatically.

Tired of typing the same compliance disclaimer repeatedly? Create a snippet. Done.

What snippets can contain

Snippets hold rich text content - anything you’d normally type in the editor:

  • Standard instructions for common procedures
  • Company policies referenced across multiple templates
  • Legal disclaimers
  • Technical terms that need exact wording
  • Contact information that changes periodically

What snippets can’t do

Snippets are text-only. They can’t contain:

  • Form fields (checkboxes, dropdowns, date pickers)
  • Task structures (assignees, deadlines, dependencies)
  • Interactive elements or conditional logic

If you need reusable tasks with form fields, create a master template and copy tasks from it to other templates manually.

Why use snippets?

  • Consistency - your legal disclaimer stays identical across every document
  • One-time updates - change one snippet, and it updates across all templates and steps that reference it
  • Admin control - only Admin members can create, edit, and delete snippets, so your approved text stays approved

How the snippet workflow works

  1. Create - an Admin goes to Settings > Organization > Snippets and creates a new snippet with a title and rich text content
  2. Insert - any member opens the editor in a template or task description and inserts the snippet from the reference panel
  3. Update - an Admin edits the snippet later, and every place that references it shows the updated content automatically
  4. Delete - when an Admin deletes a snippet, Tallyfy also removes its references from all templates and steps

Where snippets work best

  • Legal notes in contracts and process templates
  • Standard operating procedures shared across workflows
  • Company policy reminders
  • Technical definitions requiring exact wording
  • Contact info that changes when people move roles
  • Form-filling instructions for recurring tasks
