Import a template via the Tines website
To import a story template from our website:
Navigate to the library.
Find the story you'd like to import into your Tines tenant. We'll use our Send interactive messages in Slack story as an example.

Importbutton:
If you have not signed up for a Tines tenant yet, you will be re-routed to our sign-up page.
If you have not signed into your Tines tenant before following these steps, you will be prompted to sign in. If you manage multiple tenants, you will be asked to select the tenant you wish to access.
