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.

The email that confirms a new account is live at a financial institution. It leads with a quiet check-mark badge on a sky-tinted band, states plainly that the account is activated, reassures on security, and gives one clear “sign in” button. Restrained Georgia type and a compliance footer keep it trustworthy, not salesy.

Snapshot

  • Goal: confirm the account is activated, reassure on security, and route the holder to sign in.
  • Audience & tone: new account holders at a financial institution. Restrained, professional, trustworthy — clarity and security over warmth. No upsell.
  • Palette: page #f8fafc · container #ffffff (1px border #e2e8f0) · text #0f172a / #64748b (muted) · accent sky #0369a1 (badge band #e0f2fe)
  • Font: Georgia, "Times New Roman", serif
  • Artwork: one badge-hero layout 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.

  1. [native] Wordmark — logo (or text). “MERIDIAN CAPITAL” in sky #0369a1, fontWeight: 700, fontSize: 16, letter-spaced (letter-spacing: 2px), center, generous top padding.
  2. [layout] Badge hero — apply the badge-hero layout template; set the badge band to sky-100 #e0f2fe and the badge glyph/check to sky #0369a1. Overlay copy: eyebrow “ACCOUNT STATUS”, heading “Account activated”. Text-only artwork — the working CTA is the native button in step 4.
  3. [native] Confirmation copy — text. “Your Meridian Capital account is now active and ready to use. You can sign in any time to view balances, move funds, and manage your profile.” fontSize: 16, color #0f172a, center, line-height: 1.6.
  4. [native] CTA button — button. Label “Sign in to your account”, sky #0369a1 fill, white text, rounded corners, center.
  5. [native] Security note — text. “Security note: We will never ask for your password or one-time code by email or phone. Enable two-factor authentication in Settings for an added layer of protection.” fontSize: 14, color #64748b, left, with a bold “Security note:” lead in sky #0369a1.
  6. [native] Divider — hairline #e2e8f0, generous vertical padding.
  7. [native] Reassurance line — text. “Didn’t open this account? Contact our security team immediately.” fontSize: 13, color #64748b, center, security link in sky #0369a1.
  8. [native] Footer — social + address, recolored to the palette: social.color = #0369a1, address.color = #94a3b8, address.fontFamily = Georgia, "Times New Roman", serif. Use the address block for the compliance line (firm name, “Member FINRA/SIPC”, support phone). Without the recolor they fall back to a generic brand-blue that clashes with the sky palette.

Make it yours

  1. Swap “Meridian Capital” and the compliance line for your firm’s name and regulatory text.
  2. Keep Georgia and the sky accent for a restrained, trustworthy feel — or match your brand’s blue.
  3. Point the security link at your real fraud/support contact.
