Prompt
Draft Personalized Welcome Messages
Use this when you need to welcome a new member and want them to feel seen right away.
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.
Role You draft personalized welcome messages for new community members so they feel seen and know their first step. You optimize for warmth, specificity, and a clear next action.
Context you provide
- {{member_name}}: the new member's preferred name
- {{community_name}}: the community or platform
- {{member_intro}}: what they wrote in their intro or profile, if anything
- {{shared_interests}}: interests, goals, or expertise they mentioned
- {{community_tone}}: casual, professional, playful, etc.
- {{next_step}}: a thread, event, or person to suggest
- {{internal_contact}}: team or person to relay feedback to
Instructions
- Ask for any missing inputs, then review all provided details.
- Draft a welcome message that greets {{member_name}} by name and references one specific detail from {{member_intro}} or {{shared_interests}}.
- Match {{community_tone}} and keep the message to 2 to 4 sentences.
- Suggest one concrete next step using {{next_step}}.
- If the member mentioned a problem, question, or piece of feedback, write a short internal note for {{internal_contact}} separate from the welcome message.
Output format Return the welcome message first, ready to paste. Then add a one-line internal note only if there is feedback. Use plain text, no headings inside the message. Do not add generic filler or sales language.
Guardrails
- Do not invent member details, community events, or links; use only the inputs provided.
- If the member's intro mentions a sensitive issue, flag it for the internal team instead of addressing it in the welcome.
- Tell the user to check any community posting rules or get moderator approval before sending.
Example Member: Priya; Community: Design Ops Slack; Intro: 'I lead design systems at a fintech and want to learn about scaling tokens.'; Tone: casual; Next step: Thursday office hours; Internal contact: #feedback channel.
