Customer Onboarding Email Sequence

A 5-email onboarding sequence that gets new customers to their activation moment — with subject lines, CTAs, and a reactivation nudge.

Prompt Template

Write a [NUMBER — e.g., 5-email] onboarding email sequence for [PRODUCT/SERVICE]. The customer just signed up for [PLAN/TIER]. Their primary goal is [CUSTOMER GOAL]. The most important action they need to take in the first 7 days is [KEY ACTIVATION ACTION]. Write each email with: subject line, preview text, opening line (no "Welcome!" preamble), body (under 150 words), and one CTA. Email 1 (Day 0, immediately after signup): confirm signup and get them to complete [FIRST ACTION] right now. Email 2 (Day 1): show them the fastest path to [KEY VALUE MOMENT]. Email 3 (Day 3): share one customer story or data point that proves [KEY BENEFIT]. Email 4 (Day 5): address the most common reason customers don't complete setup — [COMMON OBJECTION]. Email 5 (Day 7): if they haven't [KEY ACTIVATION ACTION] yet, send a direct re-engagement prompt with a personal offer or low-friction alternative. Keep every email scannable, outcome-focused, and in a [BRAND TONE — e.g., warm and direct, professional and concise] voice.
