Feature Launch Email Template — Taped Screenshot Cutout

A feature announcement built around a screenshot masked with one squared corner, bleeding off the right edge, with a torn tape strip pinning it to the page and the copy in a left column.

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.

Over MCP, tell your agent to clone the Temway share GQ7NubbSdnDYCCk9p3nPa and rebrand. For the full model, point an MCP agent at get_conceptemail-structure, layouts-vs-emails, design-recipes.

The email for one new feature that is worth showing rather than describing. The screenshot is masked with a single squared corner and runs off the right edge, so it reads as something placed on the page rather than a UI panel pasted into a box — and a torn tape strip across its top edge says so out loud. The copy sits in a narrow column beside it.

Snapshot

  • Goal: show one new feature clearly enough that the reader wants to open it, and give them one link that does.
  • Audience & tone: existing product users. Specific, plainspoken, slightly informal — one feature, one claim, no roadmap.
  • Palette: page #ecedef · container #ffffff · text #132133 / #646d79 (muted) · accent #0891b2
  • Font: Trebuchet MS, Lucida Grande, sans-serif
  • Artwork: none — fully native blocks.

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. [native] Logo — logo. Brand mark, left-aligned.
  2. [native] Headline — text. “What it does”, fontSize: 28, color #132133, left.
  3. [native] Body copy 1 — text. “Crop any image without leaving the canvas — draw a mask right over the frame, and the corner radius softens whatever the outline leaves square.”, fontSize: 16, color #132133, left.
  4. [native] Primary CTA — button. Label “Try it in the editor”, fill #0891b2, color #111e2f, shapeStyle: ‘0_1’, left.
  5. [native] Story title — text. “Where to find it”, fontSize: 20, color #132133, left.
  6. [native] Body copy 2 — text. “Select an image element, then open the Frame section in the right-hand panel — every outline is shown side by side in the docs.”, fontSize: 16, color #132133, left.
  7. [native] Body copy 3 — text. “Tell us what is missing — reply to this email and it reaches the people who built it.”, fontSize: 16, color #646d79, left.
  8. [native] Footer rule — divider. short (96px) rule, 1px, color #e9e9e9.
  9. [native] Footer social — social. Icon row, social.color #077a96, style circle-outline, center.
  10. [native] Footer address — address. Postal address + unsubscribe, address.color #646d79, address.fontFamily Trebuchet MS, Lucida Grande, sans-serif, center.

Make it yours

  1. Replace the screenshot with a real one, cropped tight to the feature. The bleed eats the right edge on purpose, so anything load-bearing belongs on the left of the frame.
  2. Rewrite the headline as one capability. This layout has room for exactly one, and a second claim makes the column wrap under the picture.
  3. Recolor the cyan accent to your brand hue — the tape, the kicker and the arrow link all derive from it, so the tape stays a tint of your brand rather than a stray colour.

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.
