Policy Update Email Template — Plain Finance Notice
A clear, no-nonsense policy-update email with what changed, what didn't, and an effective date. Designed for finance compliance teams.

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.

it into your workspace, then ask the in-editor assistant to rebrand it. Over MCP, tell
your agent to clone the Temway share sgQm7v3CELt5ThsyYVbr1 and rebrand. For the
full model, point an MCP agent at get_concept — email-structure,

A straightforward compliance notice that leads with the effective date and a “no action required” reassurance, then lists exactly what’s changing — one item per row, separated by hairlines. No decoration, no urgency theatre. A bordered button links to the full policy, and a plain address block closes it. Built for trust: the reader can scan the three changes in ten seconds and decide whether to dig deeper.
Snapshot

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.
See all announcements templates →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.
