The prompt

Two ways to build this email in plain language. The fastest is Temway's in-editor assistant — open the chat drawer in the email editor and paste the recipe below. Or connect Claude or ChatGPT via Temway's MCP and paste it there; the agent builds the email step by step. Either way, adapt the copy and colors to your brand.

  • An email is a top-to-bottom stack of blocks — the recipe follows that order.
  • A [layout] step becomes a single image (great for heroes); everything else stays live text and links.
  • Theme the footer to match — the recipe's last step does exactly that.

Want this exact email? Click Use this template below to clone it into your workspace, then ask the in-editor assistant to rebrand it. Over MCP, tell your agent to clone the Temway share LpKf68MGGAU4gjP_zPcZu and rebrand. For the full model, point an MCP agent at get_conceptemail-structure, layouts-vs-emails, design-recipes.

A calm product-update email for a major app redesign. An indigo-to-violet gradient hero carries the “INTRODUCING” eyebrow and the headline, then the native body states the value prop once and lists three concrete improvements — calmer canvas, faster search, twice the speed — before a single tour CTA. No second ask, no checklist of minor fixes.

Build recipe

Each step is one block in the flat stack, top to bottom. [native] = a real email block. [layout] = a free-form layout embedded as a single image.

  1. [layout] Layout hero — build a free-form composition (600×240) via create_layout + set_layout_content. A deep brand field with a tracked eyebrow and one support line — no gradient, no image. Alt text: “A dark blue field reading “Introducing” above “Faster, clearer, redesigned."".
  2. [native] Headline — text. “Meet the redesigned workspace”, fontSize: 36, color #111827, left.
  3. [native] Standfirst — text. “Every screen is lighter, so the tools you use most are one tap away.”, fontSize: 20, color #6c7079, left.
  4. [native] Primary CTA — button. Label “Take the tour”, fill #4338ca, color #ffffff, shapeStyle: ‘0_1’, left.
  5. [native] Story title 1 — text. “A calmer canvas”, fontSize: 20, color #111827, left.
  6. [native] Body copy 1 — text. “Less visual clutter means more room to work — your projects finally have space to breathe.”, fontSize: 16, color #111827, left.
  7. [native] Story title 2 — text. “Search that keeps up”, fontSize: 20, color #111827, left.
  8. [native] Body copy 2 — text. “Jump to any project, file, or teammate in a single keystroke instead of digging through folders.”, fontSize: 16, color #111827, left.
  9. [native] Story title 3 — text. “Twice the speed”, fontSize: 20, color #111827, left.
  10. [native] Body copy 3 — text. “Load times dropped across the board, so the whole app now moves as quickly as you do.”, fontSize: 16, color #111827, left.
  11. [native] Footer rule — divider. short (96px) rule, 1px, color #e9e9e9.
  12. [native] Footer social — social. Icon row, social.color #4338ca, style circle-outline, center.
  13. [native] Footer address — address. Postal address + unsubscribe, address.color #6c7079, address.fontFamily Tahoma, Geneva, sans-serif, center.

Make it yours

  1. Swap the headline, subheading, and three benefit lines for your own redesign’s value props.
  2. Recolor the indigo-to-violet gradient and CTA to your brand — keep the hero text white for contrast on the gradient.
  3. Replace the Flowbase name, copy, and footer with your product name, address, and social handles.

About announcements email templates

An announcement earns its own send when it's time-sensitive or significant enough to need full attention on its own subject line — a launch, a leadership change, a funding round, or a policy update, rather than one more line in the next newsletter issue.

What kind of news deserves a standalone announcement email instead of a newsletter mention?

Anything time-sensitive or significant enough to need its own subject line and full attention — a launch, a leadership change, a funding round, or a policy update that changes how customers use your product.

How long should a product-update announcement be?

Long enough to explain what shipped and why it matters, short enough to read in under a minute — the templates below separate a short "what's new" summary from optional deeper detail below it.

How do I announce a leadership change without it feeling like a press release?

The new-CEO and leadership templates below lead with a short, human bio and a direct quote rather than a formal title-and-tenure rundown.

Should an announcement email include a call to action?

Not always — a policy update or leadership announcement can stand on its own, while a product-launch announcement should point to one clear next step, like trying the feature or booking a demo.
