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 -9vD6JeUf6UJKXYPkB_WE and rebrand. For the full model, point an MCP agent at get_conceptemail-structure, layouts-vs-emails, design-recipes.

A no-frills order confirmation built around one strong ledger. A layout hero renders the three line items, quantities, and a bold total as tabular figures between hairline rules; everything a customer might need to act on — delivery, tracking, returns — sits in clean native text and a single green button below.

Snapshot

  • Goal: confirm an order and show an itemised total the customer can scan in one glance.
  • Audience & tone: a buyer right after checkout. Plain, factual, reassuring — zero upsell.
  • Palette: page #ececec · container #ffffff · text #171717 / #707070 (muted) · accent #4d7c0f
  • Font: Helvetica, Arial, sans-serif
  • Artwork: none — fully native blocks.

About transactional email templates

Transactional email gets the highest open rates of any category, because recipients expect and want it — an order confirmation or shipping update gets read almost every time it lands. That makes it a branding opportunity most teams under-invest in relative to promotional email.

Why bother designing a transactional email — isn't the information all that matters?

Transactional emails have the highest open rates of any email you send, because recipients expect and want them — that makes them a real branding opportunity most teams under-invest in relative to promotional email.

What information has to be in an order confirmation email?

Order number, itemized contents, total charged, and expected delivery or next steps at minimum — the order-summary template below leads with those before anything promotional.

Can I add an upsell or review request to a transactional template?

Yes, but keep it secondary — the templates below place the transactional information first and any cross-sell or review ask below the fold, so it never competes with the confirmation itself.

Do these transactional templates work for both order and account-related events?

Yes — the collection below covers order confirmations and shipping updates as well as payment receipts and return confirmations, so both commerce- and account-triggered sends are covered.
