Email Marketing Automation

Design an email automation sequence for [trigger event]. The goal is to [desired outcome] within [timeframe].\n\nAudience: [who enters this sequence]\nSegment: [any segmentation criteria]\nESP: [which email platform]\n\nFor each email in the sequence, define:\n1. **Timing** — Days after trigger (or after previous email)\n2. **Subject line** — A/B options\n3. **Purpose** — What this email accomplishes in the buyer journey\n4. **Key message** — One sentence summary\n5. **CTA** — Single action\n6. **Exit conditions** — When should someone be removed from this sequence?\n\nAlso include:\n- Branch points (if they click X, send Y; if they don't open, send Z)\n- Suppression rules (who should NOT receive this sequence)\n- Integration with other sequences (what happens after this one ends)

Write a [X]-email welcome sequence for new [subscribers/users/customers]. Trigger: [what triggers entry]. Spacing: [timing between emails].\n\nSequence arc:\n- Email 1 (immediately): Welcome + deliver the promised value (lead magnet, access, etc.)\n- Email 2 (day [Y]): Share the most important thing they should do first\n- Email 3 (day [Z]): Social proof — who else uses this and what results they get\n- Email 4 (day [W]): Address the #1 reason people don't engage\n- Email 5 (day [V]): Clear next step / upgrade CTA\n\nFor each email:\n- Subject line + A/B variant\n- Preview text (under 90 characters)\n- Body copy (under 200 words — short paragraphs, scannable)\n- CTA (button text and link description)\n- P.S. line (optional)\n\nVoice: [voice description]. These emails should feel like they're from a person, not a company.

Write a [X]-email nurture sequence for leads who [lead source/behavior]. These people are interested but not ready to buy. The goal is to build trust and expertise over time, not push for a sale.\n\nSequence arc — each email delivers standalone value:\n1. Counter-intuitive insight about [their industry/problem]\n2. Framework or mental model they can apply immediately\n3. Case study or story (specific results, not generic success)\n4. Common mistake + how to avoid it\n5. The shift — when they're ready, here's why we're the right choice\n\nFor each email:\n- Subject line (curiosity-driven, not salesy)\n- Body copy (250-400 words)\n- One specific takeaway they can act on today\n- Soft CTA (reply, read more, try something — not 'buy now')\n\nRules: No sales language until email 5. Each email must be worth reading even if they never buy anything.

Write a [X]-email re-engagement sequence for [audience — e.g., churned customers, inactive subscribers]. These people haven't [engaged/purchased/logged in] in [timeframe].\n\nRules:\n- Don't guilt-trip them for leaving\n- Don't pretend nothing happened\n- Lead with what's new or different since they left\n- Make it easy to come back OR easy to unsubscribe (both are good outcomes)\n\nSequence:\n1. 'Here's what you missed' — One genuinely compelling update\n2. 'We heard you' — Address the likely reason they disengaged\n3. 'Last chance' — Clear offer or value prop + easy way to unsubscribe\n\nFor each email: subject line, body (under 150 words), CTA.

Write this week's newsletter edition. The newsletter goes to [subscriber count] [audience type] every [frequency].\n\nThis week's content:\n- Main topic: [topic]\n- Supporting link/resource: [link or description]\n- Personal note or observation: [something from my week]\n\nNewsletter format:\n1. One-line hook (subject line territory)\n2. Personal observation or story that leads into the topic (2-3 sentences)\n3. The core insight (3-4 paragraphs, conversational)\n4. One actionable takeaway\n5. Link to go deeper (blog post, video, tool)\n6. Brief sign-off\n\nTotal length: 400-600 words. No headers. It should read like a thoughtful letter, not a blog post. Match this voice: [paste voice description or example].

I need to load this email sequence into [ESP] using their API. Here's the sequence content:\n\n[Paste all emails with subject lines, body, timing]\n\nWrite a script that:\n1. Authenticates with the [ESP] API using my API key (from environment variable)\n2. Creates the automation/sequence\n3. Adds each email with correct timing/delays\n4. Sets up any tags or segments needed\n5. Includes error handling and a dry-run mode\n\nESP API docs reference: [link or key endpoints]\nLanguage: [Python/Node.js/etc.]\n\nInclude a README with setup instructions.

Here are the metrics from our [sequence/campaign name] email sequence:\n\n[Paste: email number, subject line, send count, open rate, click rate, unsubscribe rate, conversion rate]\n\nAnalyze:\n1. Which emails are underperforming and why?\n2. Open rate trends — are subject lines getting weaker over the sequence?\n3. Click rate vs. open rate — where are we losing people in the body?\n4. Unsubscribe spikes — which emails are driving people away?\n5. Drop-off points — where does the sequence lose momentum?\n\nFor each underperforming email, suggest:\n- Revised subject line (A/B test options)\n- Body copy adjustments (specific sections to rewrite)\n- Timing changes (should this email come earlier/later in the sequence?)\n\nWrite the revised versions of the bottom 3 performing emails.

Help me build a segmentation strategy for our email list. Current list size: [size]. We're using [ESP].\n\nCurrent data we collect:\n[List data points — signup source, industry, role, behavior, purchase history]\n\nDesign:\n1. **Key segments** — 4-6 segments based on our data (name each, define criteria)\n2. **Content strategy per segment** — How should messaging differ for each?\n3. **Automation triggers** — What behaviors should move someone between segments?\n4. **Personalization opportunities** — Where can we customize beyond just [First Name]?\n5. **Sequences per segment** — Which email sequences should each segment receive?\n\nKeep it practical. I have [team size] people managing email. Don't over-segment beyond what we can actually maintain.
