Monthly Digest — SaaS
A clean, single-column product digest for SaaS teams — issue header, three numbered story rows with inline links, and a themed footer.
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 lEoNlFwpULO7-oXlh0Wmn, then rebrand it. For the full model, point it at

A calm end-of-month product digest that a SaaS user finishes in under a minute. A gradient hero sets the issue, then three numbered story rows stack as native heading-and-link pairs, closing with a warm sign-off — no hype, just what shipped and the one story worth a click.
Snapshot
- Goal: recap the month’s product updates for active users and trials, and drive one click to the story that matters to each reader.
- Audience & tone: product builders and team leads who already use the product. Calm, confident, skim-friendly — no hype, no exclamation marks.
- Palette: page

gradient-herolayout hero (a single rasterized image). Everything below it is native, selectable, clickable.
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.
- [native] Wordmark — logo (or text). “Northwind”, indigo
#4f46e5,fontWeight: 700, left. - [layout] Gradient hero — apply the
gradient-herolayout template; recolor its band to the indigo gradient (#4f46e5→#818cf8). Overlay copy: eyebrow “ISSUE 09 — SEPTEMBER 2026”, heading “Your September product roundup”, subline one sentence framing the month. Text-only artwork — the working links live in the native rows below. - [native] Intro — text. One calm sentence setting up the recap,
fontSize: 15, color#475569, left. - [native] Story 1 heading — text. “1. Smart Insights is live”,
fontSize: 17,fontWeight: 700, color#0f172a, left. - [native] Story 1 body — text. Two-sentence summary,
fontSize: 14, color#475569, left, with an inline indigo#4f46e5“Read more →” link. - [native] Divider — hairline
#e2e8f0, generous vertical padding. This replaces the “card” separation — the flat model stacks and divides, it does not box. - [native] Story 2 heading — text. “2. [what shipped]”,
fontSize: 17,fontWeight: 700, color#0f172a, left. - [native] Story 2 body — text.
fontSize: 14, color#475569, left, inline indigo “Read more →” link. - [native] Divider — hairline
#e2e8f0, generous vertical padding. - [native] Story 3 heading — text. “3. [what shipped]”,
fontSize: 17,fontWeight: 700, color#0f172a, left. - [native] Story 3 body — text.
fontSize: 14, color#475569, left, inline indigo “Read more →” link. - [native] Sign-off — text. “Thanks for reading — see you next month.”,
fontSize: 14, color#475569, left. - [native] Footer — social + address. Recolor both:
social.color=#4f46e5,address.color=#94a3b8,address.fontFamily=Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif. Without this they fall back to a generic brand-blue that clashes with the indigo accent.
Make it yours
- Swap the three story headings and summaries for what you actually shipped — keep it to two sentences each.
- Update the hero eyebrow to the current issue number and month.
- Recolor the indigo gradient and accent to your brand; every inline link picks up the same accent against the gray body.
