# HTTP Message Templates

> Create Proxyman Breakpoint Templates for requests and responses, then apply a saved HTTP message in the Breakpoint Raw tab with one click.

## 1. What's it?

You can create an HTTP Message Template for the Breakpoint tool and reuse it later.

* Create a new HTTP Message Template for a Request: HTTP Method, URL, Headers
* Create a template for a Response: Status Code, Headers
* Boost your productivity when using the [Breakpoint tool](https://proxyman.com/docs/advanced-features/breakpoint#1-whats-it).
