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 aR8_UBab60Rj7FyZc_zm6 and rebrand. For the full model, point an MCP agent at get_conceptemail-structure, layouts-vs-emails, design-recipes.

The flagship invite of the year for a B2B SaaS community. This is the email that lands in every customer and prospect’s inbox a few weeks before the annual summit — a geometric poster hero sets an energetic tone, a live countdown builds urgency, and a day-by-day agenda shows exactly what they’ll get for three days in Austin.

About events & invitations email templates

An event email carries a deadline no other category has: the event date itself, which only gets more urgent as it approaches. Early-bird pricing, RSVP mechanics, and an escalating countdown all follow directly from that one fixed point.

How far in advance should an event invitation email send?

For the early-bird templates below, four to six weeks ahead with a distinct early-bird deadline works well; the last-tickets templates are built for a final push in the 48-72 hours before the event.

What has to be in an event invitation besides the date?

Date, time (with timezone if remote), location or join link, and one clear RSVP action — the templates below keep those four elements above the fold before any agenda detail.

Can I use one of these templates for a virtual event instead of an in-person one?

Yes — swap the location line for a join link and timezone. The layout and countdown mechanics work the same for webinars and workshops as for in-person galas or conferences.

Do the event templates support a countdown timer?

Yes — several below use Temway's countdown block, which renders as a live countdown in supporting email clients and a static fallback everywhere else.
