Template Categories

Category Examples
Onboarding Welcome, setup guide, first value milestone
Support Acknowledgment, resolution, follow-up, escalation
Engagement Feature tips, usage nudges, health checks
Renewal Advance notice, value recap, upgrade pitch
At-Risk Re-engagement, feedback request, save offers
Expansion Cross-sell intro, upgrade path, success story

Tips

  • Personalization variables: Build in [Customer Name], [Usage Metric], [Renewal Date] fields
  • Tone consistency: All templates should sound like the same person/brand
  • Include decision trees: "If customer responded positively, send Template B; if not, send Template C"
  • Test with real scenarios: Apply templates to 5 real customers before finalizing

Commands

"Create an onboarding email sequence (5 emails over 30 days)"
"Build support response templates for our top 10 ticket types"
"Design a renewal communication flow starting 90 days before expiry"
"Generate re-engagement templates for at-risk accounts"

Troubleshooting

Templates feel robotic Say: "Add warmth — these should feel like they're from a helpful person, not an automated system"

Too many templates Focus: "Start with top 10 most common scenarios based on ticket volume"

Not customizable enough Add: "Include 3 variations per template: formal, casual, and urgent"
