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 ZJ8GEb59EgdaKG1kZSoyd and rebrand. For the full model, point an MCP agent at get_conceptemail-structure, layouts-vs-emails, design-recipes.

A dark, modern welcome that makes “install the app” feel like the obvious next move. A near-black navy canvas lit by two soft radial glows — cyan and violet — frames a single download CTA, then hands off to a short value case and a three-line feature list. No gallery, no testimonials: the whole email is one decision.

Snapshot

  • Goal: drive a native app install on day one, not a browser bookmark.
  • Audience & tone: productivity users who live across desktop and mobile. Calm, confident, no urgency theatre.
  • Palette: page #1c2337 · container #0b1226 · text #e5e9f5 / #818796 (muted) · accent #4338ca
  • Font: Segoe UI, Helvetica, Arial, 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] Kicker — text. “Welcome to Kinetik”, fontSize: 14, color #7f78db, center, uppercase.
  3. [native] Headline — text. “Your workspace, installed”, fontSize: 28, color #e5e9f5, center.
  4. [native] Body copy 1 — text. “Pick up where you left off — on every device, online or off.”, fontSize: 16, color #e5e9f5, center.
  5. [native] Primary CTA — button. Label “Download the app”, fill #4338ca, color #ffffff, shapeStyle: ‘0_1’, center.
  6. [native] Story title — text. “Work does not wait for a browser tab”, fontSize: 20, color #e5e9f5, center.
  7. [native] Body copy 2 — text. “Kinetik keeps your projects, tasks, and docs in sync across desktop and mobile, offline included.”, fontSize: 16, color #e5e9f5, center.
  8. [native] Body copy 3 — text. “Or just open Kinetik in your browser — no install required.”, fontSize: 16, color #818796, center.
  9. [native] Footer rule — divider. short (96px) rule, 1px, color #e9e9e9.
  10. [native] Footer social — social. Icon row, social.color #7f78db, style circle-outline, center.
  11. [native] Footer address — address. Postal address + unsubscribe, address.color #818796, address.fontFamily Segoe UI, Helvetica, Arial, sans-serif, center.

Make it yours

  1. Swap the two glow blobs’ colours for your own brand duo — keep one warm, one cool, both low-opacity.
  2. Replace the three feature lines with the sync behaviours your app actually ships (collaborative cursors, push categories, background refresh).
  3. Keep the “or just open in your browser” line — it catches the install-averse without weakening the primary CTA.

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.
