Prompt objective
Transform mandatory transactional emails into marketing touchpoints that generate additional revenue through cross-sell, upsell, and referral opportunities, while maintaining delivery rates above 99%.
Real use case
A makeup e-commerce with 3,500 orders per month sends default transactional emails from their platform (plain text, no branding). Each order confirmation has an 85% open rate but zero commercial leverage.
Customize these fields first
Replace the placeholders with your own context before you run the prompt. That usually improves the first output more than adding more instructions later.
Prompt
Redesign the transactional emails for [COMPANY NAME], a [SEGMENT] e-commerce with [NUMBER] orders per month, to generate additional revenue.
Context:
- Platform: [PLATFORM: Shopify/VTEX/WooCommerce/Magento]
- Current transactional emails: [LIST: order confirmation, invoice, shipping, delivery, etc.]
- Current transactional open rate: ~[PERCENTAGE]%
- Products with highest margin for cross-sell: [CATEGORIES]
- Referral program: [YES/NO]
**Redesign each transactional email:**
**1) Order Confirmation:**
- Branded header (logo + brand colors)
- Order details (products, amounts, shipping address) — main section
- 'Complete your order' block (2-3 cross-sell products based on purchase)
- Recommendation logic: If they bought [A], show [B, C]
- 'Estimated delivery' block with visual progress bar
- Footer: Social links + 'Refer a friend and earn $X'
- Secondary CTA: 'Track your order'
**2) Invoice Issued:**
- Clean, professional design
- Link to digital invoice
- Educational block: 'How to use your [PRODUCT]' (link to content)
- CTA: 'Save to my account'
**3) Order Shipped:**
- Clickable tracking number (carrier tracking link)
- Visual map/progress indicator for shipment
- 'While you wait' block: Educational content about the product
- 'Get ready' block: What to do when it arrives
- CTA: 'Track my order'
- P.S.: 'Next purchase with X% off using code [CODE]'
**4) Order Delivered:**
- Positive delivery confirmation visual
- 'How was your experience?' block — 5 clickable stars
- 4-5 stars → Redirect to Google Reviews
- 1-3 stars → Redirect to private feedback form
- 'Products that go together' block (repeat purchase/complementary items)
- CTA: 'Rate this product'
- Referral program link
**5) Payment Failed (card declined):**
- Empathetic tone, no alarm
- Simple explanation of the issue
- Clear instructions to resolve (screenshots if helpful)
- Alternatives: different card, bank transfer, other payment method
- Time window to keep the order reserved
- CTA: 'Update payment'
- Direct WhatsApp link to support
**For each template:**
- Complete responsive HTML (mobile-first)
- Mapped dynamic variables: {{name}}, {{order_id}}, {{products}}, {{total}}
- Rendering tests: Gmail, Outlook, Apple Mail
- Plain text version (fallback)
- Compliance: GDPR/CCPA data privacy requirements, mandatory links
**Expected metrics:**
- Additional revenue per transactional email (benchmark: 2-5% click-through on cross-sell)
- Reviews generated per month
- Referrals generated per monthOpen directly in an AI — the text is pre-filled:
