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 YnvnXQc06GsqBNNu8k_I5 and rebrand. For the full model, point an MCP agent at get_conceptemail-structure, layouts-vs-emails, design-recipes.

You just closed the round, and this is the email that tells the world with the momentum it deserves. A bold brand-hero field throws the number up front — “$20M, Series A” as a left-biased headline on a solid emerald field — then two forward-leaning paragraphs and an investor’s vote of confidence build the case, closing on a green call to read the full story.

Make it yours

  1. Swap “$20M / SERIES A” and the lead investor name for your real round.
  2. Rewrite the two paragraphs and the investor quote — keep the ambition, name the concrete plans.
  3. Recolor the emerald gradient to your brand, but keep the dark container for the premium, momentum 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.
