# Defaults

> How Oviond picks the default sender and email template.

Oviond doesn't have a separate **Defaults** page. Instead, "default" is a per-row setting you mark with a **star** in **Settings → Email settings** (`/settings/email-settings`): a default **sender** and a default **template**. Oviond uses these whenever a send doesn't specify a sender or template of its own.

## Default sender

In the **Sender addresses** section, one sender is the default, shown with a star. Click **Set default sender** on any saved sender to make it the default. Your first saved sender becomes the default automatically, and if you delete the default Oviond promotes the next-oldest saved sender. The built-in Oviond sender can't be your default.

See [Senders](/email-settings/senders) for the full sender setup.

## Default template

In the **Email templates** section, one template is the default, shown with a star and a **Default** badge. Click **Set template as default** on any template to change it. Each account is seeded with a built-in default template.

A template defines:

| Field         | Notes                                                               |
| ------------- | ------------------------------------------------------------------- |
| `name`        | Internal template name.                                             |
| `subject`     | Subject line. Supports inserted variables (type `/` to insert one). |
| `message`     | Body copy, also variable-aware.                                     |
| `button_text` | Optional CTA button label.                                          |
| `button_top`  | Whether the button appears above the message.                       |

<Note>
  There are no standalone "default subject", "default from name", or "default from email" fields — those values come from the default **template** and default **sender** described above.
