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 DKjid1nwZ5U3UC3g2Jy1A and rebrand. For the full model, point an MCP agent at get_conceptemail-structure, layouts-vs-emails, design-recipes.

A loud, urgent 48-hour flash-sale email that puts the discount and the code above the fold. A confetti-and-gradient hero carries the “30% OFF” headline, a dashed pill holds the code SUN30, and the body stack restates the offer with a checklist and a second CTA — everything a shopper needs to decide before Sunday midnight.

  2. [native] Primary CTA — button. Label “Shop the sale”, fill #ea580c, color #3e1206, shapeStyle: ‘0_1’, center.

  4. [native] Body copy 2 — text. “Every category is included this weekend — new arrivals, restocked favorites, and the pieces you’ve had bookmarked since spring all count toward the discount.”, fontSize: 16, color #431407, left.
  5. [native] Body copy 3 — text. “Free shipping lands on orders over fifty dollars, and the code works everywhere at checkout, no minimum required.”, fontSize: 16, color #876961, left.

Make it yours

  1. Swap the discount percentage, code, and deadline for your own sale terms.
  2. Recolor the orange gradient and confetti to your brand — keep the burst and confetti low-opacity so the discount stays the focal point.
  3. Replace the Soleil copy and footer links with your store name, address, and social handles.

About promotional email templates

A promotional email has exactly one job: drive an action before a deadline. Everything about the design — the countdown, the single dominant CTA, the offer stated in the first line — exists to make the deadline feel real rather than decorative.

See all promotional templates →

How much urgency should a promotional email create?

Enough to justify a countdown timer or an "ends [date]" line, but tied to a real deadline — the templates below use a visible countdown or explicit expiry date rather than vague "limited time" language.

Can I add a discount code or coupon to one of these templates?

Yes — several templates below are built around a coupon-stub or code-reveal hero; clone one and swap in your own code and terms.

What's the difference between a flash-sale and a seasonal-offer template?

A flash-sale template is built for a short window (hours to a couple of days) with heavy countdown emphasis. A seasonal-offer template runs longer — a week or more — and leads with the occasion instead of a ticking clock.

Will a promotional template trigger spam filters?

Temway's proofread check flags common spam triggers — excessive punctuation, all-caps subject lines, missing unsubscribe links — before you send, so issues specific to promotional copy get caught before they reach an inbox.
