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 5ARBoxT1-NdRstBeO3ui0 and rebrand. For the full model, point an MCP agent at get_conceptemail-structure, layouts-vs-emails, design-recipes.

You just crossed a milestone that matters — a million people trust you now — and this email lets you say it with weight instead of confetti. A dark milestone-figure band lands the number as one oversized figure on a deep field, then two grateful paragraphs and a founder’s quote carry the story home, closing on a single gold call to read the full announcement.

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 (600×400) via create_layout + set_layout_content.

  4. [native] Primary CTA — button. Label “Read the announcement”, fill #b45309, color #ffffff, shapeStyle: ‘0_1’, center.

  10. [native] Footer rule — divider. short (96px) rule, 1px, color #e9e9e9.
  11. [native] Footer social — social. Icon row, social.color #c06f30, style circle-outline, center.
  12. [native] Footer address — address. Postal address + unsubscribe, address.color #808285, address.fontFamily Georgia, Times New Roman, serif, center.

Make it yours

  1. Swap “1,000,000 / USERS” for your real milestone (revenue, downloads, years, customers) and update the eyebrow to match.
  2. Rewrite the two paragraphs and the CEO quote in your founder’s actual voice — keep it grateful, not boastful.
  3. Recolor the gold accent to your brand, but keep the dark container for the premium feel.

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.
