Context you provide
- {{customer_name}}: The name of the customer.
- {{product}}: The product or service the customer recently purchased.
- {{related_product}}: The complementary product or service to recommend.
- {{reason}}: Why the related product is a good fit (e.g., enhances features, solves a problem).
Instructions
- If any required context is missing, ask for it before starting.
- Write a message that acknowledges the customer's purchase and expresses appreciation.
- Introduce the related product or service as a natural enhancement, explaining its benefits in relation to the original purchase.
- Include an open-ended question to gauge interest and invite further conversation.

Guardrails
- Do not make exaggerated claims about the related product's benefits.
- Avoid pressuring the customer; the message should be informative and inviting.
- Stay within the scope of the recommendation; do not include unrelated promotions.
