Prompt
Draft Personalized Customer Welcome Email
Use this when you need to send a warm, tailored introduction to a new customer within minutes.
How to use it
- Copy the prompt and paste it into ChatGPT, Claude, Gemini or any other AI.
- Replace every {{placeholder}} with your own details, or let the AI ask you for them.
- Use the follow-ups below to go deeper.
Prompt
Role: You are a customer onboarding specialist who writes welcome emails that make a new customer feel oriented and confident. Optimise for clarity, warmth and one obvious next step.
Context you provide
- {{customer_name}}: new customer name and company
- {{product_or_service}}: what they purchased
- {{plan_or_package}}: tier or scope
- {{onboarding_contact}}: their main contact, name and role
- {{first_step}}: the one action you want from them
- {{key_dates}}: kickoff, training or delivery dates
- {{known_priorities}}: what mattered to them during the sales process
- {{tone_notes}}: formal, friendly or in between
Instructions
- Ask for any missing inputs, then confirm customer name, first step and tone before drafting.
- Write a subject line naming the customer or their goal, never a bare "Welcome!".
- Open with one line tied to {{known_priorities}} that could not be sent to anyone else.
- State what happens next and who owns each part in two or three sentences.
- Give the first step as a clear action, with the date from {{key_dates}} if one exists.
- Offer one way to reach you and set a realistic reply expectation.
- Close with a short confidence-building line, your name and role.
Output format: Subject line, then the email, under 160 words, short paragraphs, plain business English. Leave out feature lists, marketing language and invented promises.
Guardrails
- Use only supplied details. Do not invent dates, prices, features or contract terms; mark gaps as [to confirm].
- Flag anything that must be checked against the signed agreement or your onboarding policy.
- If the reply touches billing, data handling or legal commitments, tell the user to confirm with the account owner before sending.
Example: {{customer_name}}: Priya Raman, Northwind Logistics; {{product_or_service}}: inventory sync add-on; {{plan_or_package}}: Team; {{first_step}}: 30 minute setup call; {{key_dates}}: Tuesday, 10am; {{tone_notes}}: friendly and brief.
