Welcome Email Template — Getting Started
A scannable welcome email guide — three numbered steps (Connect, Import, Launch), a CTA button, and a support line. Light teal accent on a clean white canvas.
Preview unavailable — view the prompt below.
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 MTi6wq46QCI1FqoviTW-V and rebrand. For the
full model, point an MCP agent at get_concept — email-structure,
layouts-vs-emails, design-recipes.
The onboarding email that hands a new SaaS user a clear three-step path to their first project. A teal step-track rail previews Connect → Import → Launch up top, then the body spells out exactly what to do, and one teal button drops them into the app. Scannable, confident, done.
Snapshot

Make it yours
- Swap “Flowbase” and rename the three steps to match your product’s actual setup flow.
- Retune the CTA to your first-run destination (“Open the dashboard”, “Start your project”).
- Recolor the teal rail and accents to your brand — keep it to three steps for scannability.
About welcome & onboarding email templates
A welcome email lands while intent is at its highest — most recipients open it within minutes of signing up, which makes it the highest-engagement email a brand will ever send that person. The job is to set expectations and point to one next step, not to introduce every feature at once.
See all welcome & onboarding templates →When should a welcome email send relative to signup?
Immediately — within minutes of signup, while intent is highest. The day-1 onboarding templates below are built for that first touch, with day-3/day-7 follow-ups as separate sends.
Should a welcome email ask for anything, or just say hello?
The best-performing welcome templates point to exactly one next action — verify an account, complete a profile, make a first purchase — rather than listing every feature at once.
Can I make a welcome email feel personal instead of templated?
Yes — the founder-letter style templates below are built for that: a single first-person voice, a photo or signature block, and minimal marketing chrome.
Are these welcome templates suitable for a membership or donor program, not just a SaaS product?
Yes — the donor-circle and loyalty-program templates below are built specifically for membership and nonprofit welcome flows, not just product signups.
