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 K2DouaASs42Im1QrVZGSH and rebrand. For the full model, point an MCP agent at get_conceptemail-structure, layouts-vs-emails, design-recipes.

A friendly, momentum-first welcome on a warm cream canvas. A rounded “P” mark opens a centered headline, then three goal stat cards (steps, active minutes, sleep) sit side by side inside the hero. Below, the body is plain stacked text — gentle goals, how the app works, and a “first 10-minute workout” pitch — closing with a second CTA and a quiet divider.

Snapshot

  • Goal: turn a new sign-up into a first workout today.
  • Audience & tone: someone who just downloaded the app. Friendly, low-pressure, momentum-led — “small wins,” never guilt.
  • Palette: page #ede9e3 · container #fffbf5 · text #1a1a1a / #6d6c69 (muted) · accent #e11d48
  • Font: Verdana, Geneva, sans-serif
  • Artwork: none — fully native blocks.

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] Logo — logo. Brand mark, center-aligned.
  2. [native] Headline — text. “Your fitness journey starts now”, fontSize: 28, color #1a1a1a, center.
  3. [native] Body copy 1 — text. “Three gentle goals, one week, and a little momentum to get you moving.”, fontSize: 16, color #1a1a1a, center.
  4. [native] Primary CTA — button. Label “Start my first workout”, fill #e11d48, color #ffffff, shapeStyle: ‘0_1’, center.
  5. [native] Story title 1 — text. “Small wins, big momentum”, fontSize: 20, color #1a1a1a, center.
  6. [native] Body copy 2 — text. “We set three gentle targets for your level — log one thing today and the streak begins there.”, fontSize: 16, color #1a1a1a, center.
  7. [native] Story title 2 — text. “How Pulse works”, fontSize: 20, color #1a1a1a, center.
  8. [native] Body copy 3 — text. “Start a workout or let Pulse quietly track your steps — it learns your rhythm and adapts the plan every week.”, fontSize: 16, color #1a1a1a, center.
  9. [native] Body copy 4 — text. “Prefer a plan? Pulse builds a weekly schedule around your availability, so you always know what to do next.”, fontSize: 16, color #6d6c69, center.
  10. [native] Footer rule — divider. short (96px) rule, 1px, color #e9e9e9.
  11. [native] Footer social — social. Icon row, social.color #d41b44, style circle-outline, center.
  12. [native] Footer address — address. Postal address + unsubscribe, address.color #6d6c69, address.fontFamily Verdana, Geneva, sans-serif, center.

Make it yours

  1. Swap the “P” mark, three stat values and CTAs for your brand mark, real goal defaults and deep links.
  2. Recolor the rose accent (#e11d48 / #fecdd3) to your brand — keep the three card values in the accent so they read as “your targets.”
  3. Adjust the “10-minute beginner workout” copy in step 9 to your actual first-run workout — that sentence is what turns a download into a first session.

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.
