Newsletter Template — In This Issue for Finance Teams

A numbered table of contents with read-times and hairline separators, giving a long research issue a scannable front door before the reader commits.

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.

Want this exact email? Click Use this template below to clone it into your workspace, then ask the in-editor assistant to rebrand it. Over MCP, tell your agent to clone the Temway share pwpkEJa0XPLu2bnIOXOJx and rebrand. For the full model, point an MCP agent at get_conceptemail-structure, layouts-vs-emails, design-recipes.

A long issue loses readers in the first three seconds, not the third paragraph. A contents block fixes that: four numbered rows, a title each, and an honest read-time, so someone can decide to read item three now and the rest at lunch.

Snapshot

  • Goal: let a reader triage a long issue in one glance instead of scrolling to find out what is in it.
  • Audience & tone: analysts and finance leads who skim first and read second. Precise, unhyped, numerate.
  • Palette: page #e5e7e7 · container #f8f9f9 · text #0d1518 / #676c6e (muted) · accent #2f4858
  • Font: Helvetica, Arial, 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] Kicker — text. “Quarterly Research · Issue 12”, fontSize: 14, color #2f4858, left, uppercase.
  2. [native] Headline — text. “Three things worth your attention”, fontSize: 28, color #0d1518, left.
  3. [native] Body copy 1 — text. “A fast read on rates, hiring, and private credit before you commit to the full issue.”, fontSize: 16, color #0d1518, left.
  4. [native] Story title 1 — text. “Rates have decoupled from the curve”, fontSize: 20, color #0d1518, left.
  5. [native] Body copy 2 — text. “What that means for portfolios this quarter.”, fontSize: 16, color #0d1518, left.
  6. [native] Rule 1 — divider. full-measure rule, 1px, color #e9e9e9.
  7. [native] Story title 2 — text. “What the Q4 filings said about hiring”, fontSize: 20, color #0d1518, left.
  8. [native] Body copy 3 — text. “A slower pace across the board, concentrated in mid-market firms.”, fontSize: 16, color #0d1518, left.
  9. [native] Rule 2 — divider. full-measure rule, 1px, color #e9e9e9.
  10. [native] Story title 3 — text. “A slower read on private credit”, fontSize: 20, color #0d1518, left.
  11. [native] Body copy 4 — text. “Spreads widen as covenants tighten across new deals.”, fontSize: 16, color #0d1518, left.
  12. [native] Body copy 5 — text. “Every past issue is in the archive, if you want to read at your own pace.”, fontSize: 16, color #676c6e, left.
  13. [native] Primary CTA — button. Label “See the full research”, fill #2f4858, color #ffffff, shapeStyle: ‘0_1’, left.
  14. [native] Footer rule — divider. short (96px) rule, 1px, color #e9e9e9.
  15. [native] Footer social — social. Icon row, social.color #2f4858, style circle-outline, center.
  16. [native] Footer address — address. Postal address + unsubscribe, address.color #676c6e, address.fontFamily Helvetica, Arial, sans-serif, center.

Make it yours

  1. The contents block and the native rows must list the SAME four items in the same order — a contents block that disagrees with the body is worse than none.
  2. Put real read-times in. Rounding every item to “5 min” tells the reader you guessed.
  3. Repeating each item as a native row below the artwork is deliberate: the rasterized contents cannot carry per-row links, so the rows underneath are what actually click.

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.

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.
