Transport Templates
This page lists the transport rule templates saved in CIPP, including a set of ready-made ones that ship with the product for common tasks such as blocking external auto-forwarding and stripping read receipts. Templates are stored in CIPP rather than in a tenant, and they are what the Deploy Template drawer offers you when it asks for a template. New templates are added with the Create template based on rule action on the Transport Rules page.
Action Buttons
Deploy Template
Opens a drawer that deploys a transport rule to one or more tenants. Select the target tenants, then either pick a template from this list to fill in the New-TransportRule parameters (JSON) box or type the JSON in yourself, and click Deploy Transport Rule. If a rule of the same name already exists in a target tenant, that rule is updated to match the template instead of a second copy being added.
Table Details
Name
The template name, which is also the name given to the rule it creates.
Comments
The description saved with the template. Templates captured from a live rule inherit that rule's own comments, so this is often empty.
GUID
The template's unique identifier, useful for telling apart two templates that share a name.
The templates that ship with CIPP are always available. Deleting one removes it from the list until the page is next loaded, at which point it returns. Templates you have created yourself stay deleted.
The flyout shows a template's name, comments, and identifier, but not the rule it deploys, so there is no way to review what a template does from this page.
Table Actions
Save to GitHub
Commits the selected template to a GitHub repository you choose, using a commit message you supply. Greyed out unless the GitHub integration is set up and you have write access to at least one repository.
Delete Template
Removes the selected template from CIPP. Rules already deployed from the template keep working and are not changed.
More Info
Opens the Extended Info flyout with the full details for the selected row.
