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 YVnfBWpG0C3vhschIM-ar and rebrand. For the full model, point an MCP agent at get_conceptemail-structure, layouts-vs-emails, design-recipes.

The flash-sale email that lands at 9am and expires before breakfast tomorrow. A bold sticker-style hero carries the discount and a live countdown chip, the coupon code is named twice (once in the hero, once on the button row), and the rest is short, loud, and unambiguous — no fine print, no exclusions, no escape routes.

Snapshot

  • Goal: drive a 24-hour spike in orders with a sitewide discount and a hard deadline.
  • Audience & tone: existing ecommerce subscribers. Bold, warm, urgent — the kind of energy that reads as “act now” without reading as scam.
  • Palette: page #fff5f3 · container #ffffff · text #451a03 / #78716c (muted) · accent coral #f43f5e
  • Font: Verdana, Geneva, sans-serif
  • Artwork: one sticker-fun layout hero (rasterized image)

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. [layout] Hero — sticker-fun layout template — recolor the band to coral #f43f5e over warm cream #fff5f3. Sticker copy: bold uppercase "FLASH SALE · 30% OFF" in #451a03, with a countdown chip "24:00:00" in #ffffff on #f43f5e. Decorative dot accents in #451a03. Text-only artwork — the working CTA is the native button in step 5.
  2. [native] Countdown line — text. "Ends in 24 hours · Today only · Code HATCH30 at checkout" text #451a03 15px bold, center, code in accent #f43f5e uppercase.
  3. [native] Heading — text. "Everything must go — including the new arrivals" text #451a03 24px bold, center.
  4. [native] Subline — text. "No exclusions. No minimum. Just 30% off your full cart, today only." muted #78716c 14px, center.
  5. [native] CTA button — button. Label "Shop the flash sale", coral #f43f5e fill, white text, pill corners, center.
  6. [native] Bestseller title — text. "Bestselling this week" text #451a03 17px bold, left.
  7. [native] Bestseller body — text. "The Hatch Tote · The Linen Shirt · The Weekend Pant — all 30% off through midnight." muted #78716c 14px, left.
  8. [native] Divider — hairline #f3d7d1, generous vertical padding. Replaces “card” separation — the flat model stacks and divides, it does not box.
  9. [native] Shipping line — text. "Free shipping on orders $75+ · Free returns within 30 days" muted #78716c 13px, center.
  10. [native] Footer — text. "Hatch & Co · 212 Crosby Street, New York, NY · [email protected] · Instagram / TikTok" muted #78716c 12px, center. Recolored to the palette.

Make it yours

  1. Swap HATCH30 and the 30% for your coupon and discount depth.
  2. Replace the three bestseller names with your top SKUs of the week.
  3. Recolor coral #f43f5e to your brand — pair with a soft cream page for the warm-flash feel.
