SaaS Newsletter Template — Founder's Note

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 _aqvGSxZbq2T47TIbsSIF and rebrand. For the

A short, no-decoration monthly note from a SaaS founder to their users. No hero image, no fireworks — just a wordmark, a real sentence about what happened, one number that mattered, and what’s coming next. Designed to feel like a one-on-one email, not a broadcast.
Snapshot
- Goal: keep a direct, human line from the founder to active users; share one honest update and one forward-looking commitment per month.
- Audience & tone: product builders and team leads who already use the app. Plain, confident, first-person — like an email from someone you know, not a marketing send.

Make it yours
- Rewrite the body and the “what’s next” line in your own voice — first-person honesty is what makes this format work.
- Swap the stat for whatever number actually mattered this month (signups, retention, NPS — keep it to one).
- If your brand runs warmer or darker, shift the sky-blue accent — Trebuchet MS reads cleanly on any light palette.
About newsletter email templates
A newsletter is the one email category built for a relationship, not a single moment. There is no hard deadline and no one dominant CTA — the job is to show up on a predictable cadence often enough that subscribers recognize the format and know where to look for the update they actually care about.
See all newsletter templates →How is a newsletter template different from a promotional email template?
A newsletter is built for a recurring cadence and a returning audience — the design favors consistent section structure, so readers know where to look each issue, over a single hard sell. Promotional templates are built around one offer and one deadline instead.
What sections should a company newsletter include?
Most effective newsletters below hold to three or four recurring sections — a short editor's note, one or two curated highlights, and a closing link or two — rather than trying to cover everything that happened since the last send.
Can I reuse the same newsletter template every month?
Yes, and it's the recommended approach — clone it once, then swap the content each cycle so subscribers recognize the format immediately instead of relearning a new layout every send.
Do Temway newsletter templates support an unsubscribe link and merge tags?
Yes — every template includes a compliant unsubscribe footer and supports Temway's merge-tag picker for personalizing subject lines and greetings per recipient.
