The prompt

Paste the brief below into ChatGPT or Claude with Temway's MCP enabled — the agent builds the email step by step. Or adapt it for your own brand and copy.

  • 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? Tell your agent to clone the Temway share O_oGeZFDDsTzEmJsxJXo2, then rebrand it. For the full model, point it at get_concept — email-structure, layouts-vs-emails, design-recipes.

A warm monthly community-spotlight newsletter that puts real members front and center. A soft rose hero opens the letter, then two first-person stories land as native quote-and-attribution pairs, closing with one gentle “Get involved” ask — connection first, fundraising never.

Snapshot

  • Goal: build belonging with donors, volunteers, and members by leading with real member stories, then one soft ask.
  • Audience & tone: the mission’s community. Warm, human, hopeful — a letter from a community, never a fundraising appeal.
  • Palette: page #ffffff · container #ffffff · text #292524 / #57534e (muted) · accent rose #e11d48 (hero band #fff1f2)
  • Font: Georgia, "Times New Roman", serif
  • Artwork: none — fully native blocks. The “hero band” is a tinted text block, not a rasterized image, so headline and links stay live.

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] Wordmark — logo (or text). “Rooted”, rose #e11d48, fontWeight: 700, center.
  2. [native] Hero eyebrow — text. “COMMUNITY SPOTLIGHT”, fontSize: 12, fontWeight: 700, letter-spaced caps, rose #e11d48, center, on a soft-rose #fff1f2 backgroundColor.
  3. [native] Hero headline — text. “Stories from our community this month”, fontSize: 24, fontWeight: 700, color #292524, center, same #fff1f2 background so it reads as one band.
  4. [native] Hero intro — text. One warm line, e.g. “This month we’re passing the mic to the people who make it happen.” fontSize: 15, color #57534e, center, #fff1f2 background.
  5. [native] Spacer — small gap to lift the first story off the tinted band onto white.
  6. [native] Story 1 quote — text. A first-person line in real curly quotes, e.g. ““I came for the free seeds and stayed for the people.”” fontSize: 20, color #292524, left.
  7. [native] Story 1 attribution — text. ”— Maya, first-year grower”, fontSize: 14, fontWeight: 700, rose #e11d48, left, tight top padding.
  8. [native] Divider — hairline #f5f5f4, generous vertical padding. This replaces the “card” separation — the flat model stacks and divides, it does not box.
  9. [native] Story 2 quote — text. A second curly-quote testimonial, fontSize: 20, color #292524, left.
  10. [native] Story 2 attribution — text. ”— [name, role]”, fontSize: 14, fontWeight: 700, rose #e11d48, left, tight top padding.
  11. [native] CTA — button. Label “Get involved”, rose #e11d48 fill, white text, pill (rounded) corners, center. The single ask, placed after the stories.
  12. [native] Footer — social + address. Recolor both to the palette: social.color = #e11d48, address.color = #78716c, address.fontFamily = Georgia, "Times New Roman", serif. Without this they fall back to a generic brand-blue that clashes with the warm rose.

Make it yours

  1. Swap the two quotes and attributions for your own members’ words — real names, real roles.
  2. Keep Georgia for the letter-from-a-friend feel, or switch to your org’s font.
  3. Recolor the rose hero and accent to your brand; keep the single “Get involved” ask and skip donation pressure in the body.
