Inputs

输入信息

Gather the following from the user. If not provided, ask before proceeding:
  1. Sequence type — one of:
    • Onboarding
    • Lead nurture
    • Re-engagement
    • Product launch
    • Event follow-up
    • Upgrade/upsell
    • Win-back
    • Educational drip
  2. Goal — what the sequence should achieve (e.g., activate new users, convert leads to customers, reduce churn, drive event attendance, upsell to a higher tier)
  3. Audience — who receives this sequence, what stage they are at, and any relevant segmentation details (role, industry, behavior triggers, lifecycle stage)
  4. Number of emails (optional) — if not specified, recommend a count based on the sequence type using the templates in the Sequence Type Templates section below
  5. Timing/cadence preferences (optional) — desired spacing between emails (e.g., "every 3 days", "weekly", "aggressive first week then taper off")
  6. Brand voice — if configured in local settings, apply automatically and inform the user. If not configured, ask: "Do you have brand voice guidelines I should follow? If not, I'll use a clear, conversational professional tone."
  7. Additional context (optional):
    • Specific offers, discounts, or incentives to include
    • CTAs or landing pages to link to
    • Content assets available (blog posts, case studies, videos, guides)
    • Product features to highlight
    • Competitor differentiators to reference
从用户处收集以下信息,若用户未提供,需先询问再继续:
  1. 序列类型 — 以下类型之一:
    • 用户引导
    • 线索培育
    • 用户重激活
    • 产品发布
    • 活动跟进
    • 升级/交叉销售
    • 赢回流失用户
    • 教育类 drip
  2. 目标 — 该序列需要达成的结果(例如:激活新用户、将线索转化为客户、降低用户流失率、提升活动参与度、升级至更高套餐)
  3. 受众 — 接收该序列的人群、所处阶段及任何相关细分信息(职位、行业、行为触发条件、生命周期阶段)
  4. 邮件数量(可选)— 若用户未指定,则根据序列类型,参考下方「序列类型模板」部分的模板推荐合适的数量
  5. 发送时机/节奏偏好(可选)— 邮件之间的理想间隔(例如:「每3天一封」、「每周一封」、「首周密集发送,之后放缓」)
  6. 品牌语调 — 若本地设置中已配置,则自动应用并告知用户。若未配置,询问用户:「你是否有品牌语调指南需要我遵循?如果没有,我将使用清晰、口语化的专业语调。」
  7. 额外上下文(可选):
    • 需要包含的特定优惠、折扣或激励措施
    • 需要链接的CTA(行动号召)或落地页
    • 可用的内容资产(博客文章、案例研究、视频、指南)
    • 需要突出的产品功能
    • 需要提及的竞品差异化优势

Process

执行流程

1. Sequence Strategy

1. 序列策略

Before drafting any emails, define the overall sequence architecture:
  • Narrative arc — what story does this sequence tell across all emails? What is the emotional and logical progression from first email to last?
  • Journey mapping — map each email to a stage of the buyer or user journey (awareness, consideration, decision, activation, expansion)
  • Escalation logic — how does the intensity, urgency, or value of each email build on the previous one?
  • Success definition — what specific action signals that the sequence has done its job and the recipient should exit?
在起草任何邮件之前,先定义整体序列架构:
  • 叙事脉络 — 整个序列要讲述怎样的故事?从第一封邮件到最后一封,情感和逻辑上的递进是怎样的?
  • 旅程映射 — 将每封邮件对应到购买者或用户旅程的某个阶段(认知、考虑、决策、激活、拓展)
  • 升级逻辑 — 每封邮件的强度、紧迫感或价值如何在前一封的基础上递进?
  • 成功定义 — 哪些具体行为标志着序列已完成目标,收件人应退出序列?

2. Individual Email Design

2. 单封邮件设计

For each email in the sequence, produce:
针对序列中的每封邮件,生成以下内容:

Subject Line

主题行

  • Provide 2-3 options per email
  • Vary approaches: curiosity, benefit-driven, urgency, personalization, question-based
  • Keep under 50 characters where possible; note preview behavior on mobile
  • 每封邮件提供2-3个选项
  • 采用不同策略:引发好奇心、突出利益、制造紧迫感、个性化、提问式
  • 尽可能控制在50字符以内;标注移动端预览显示效果

Preview Text

预览文本

  • 40-90 characters that complement (not repeat) the subject line
  • Should add context or intrigue that increases open likelihood
  • 40-90字符,补充(而非重复)主题行内容
  • 应增加上下文或吸引力,提升邮件打开率

Email Purpose

邮件目的

  • One sentence explaining why this email exists and what it moves the recipient toward
  • 用一句话说明该邮件的存在意义,以及它能推动收件人达成什么目标

Body Copy

正文文案

  • Full draft ready to use
  • Clear hierarchy: hook, body, CTA
  • Short paragraphs (2-3 sentences max)
  • Scannable formatting with bold key phrases where appropriate
  • Personalization tokens where relevant (e.g., first name, company name, product used)
  • 可直接使用的完整草稿
  • 清晰的层级结构:钩子、正文、CTA
  • 短段落(最多2-3句话)
  • 可扫描的格式,必要时对关键内容加粗
  • 相关的个性化标记(例如:名字、公司名称、使用的产品)

Primary CTA

主CTA

  • Button text and destination
  • One primary CTA per email (secondary CTA only if appropriate for the sequence stage)
  • 按钮文本及跳转目标
  • 每封邮件仅设置一个主CTA(仅在序列阶段合适时添加次要CTA)

Timing

发送时机

  • Days after the trigger event or after the previous email
  • Note if timing should adjust based on engagement (e.g., "send sooner if they opened but did not click")
  • 触发事件发生后或上一封邮件发送后的天数
  • 标注是否应根据用户互动调整时机(例如:「若用户已打开但未点击,则提前发送」)

Segment/Condition Notes

受众细分/条件说明

  • Who receives this email vs. who skips it
  • Any behavioral or attribute-based conditions (e.g., "only send to users who have not completed setup")
  • 哪些人会收到这封邮件,哪些人会跳过
  • 任何基于行为或属性的条件(例如:「仅发送给未完成设置的用户」)

3. Sequence Logic

3. 序列逻辑

Define the flow control for the sequence:
  • Branching conditions — alternate paths based on engagement. For example:
    • "If opened email 2 but did not click CTA, send email 2b (softer re-ask) instead of email 3"
    • "If clicked CTA in email 1, skip email 2 and go directly to email 3"
  • Exit conditions — when a recipient converts (completes the desired action), remove them from the sequence. Define what "conversion" means for this sequence.
  • Re-entry rules — can someone re-enter the sequence? Under what conditions? (e.g., "if a user churns again 90 days later, re-enter the win-back sequence")
  • Suppression rules — do not send if the recipient is already in another active sequence, has unsubscribed from marketing, or has contacted support in the last 48 hours
定义序列的流程控制规则:
  • 分支条件 — 根据用户互动设置不同路径。例如:
    • 「若用户打开了邮件2但未点击CTA,则发送邮件2b(更温和的再次请求)而非邮件3」
    • 「若用户点击了邮件1的CTA,则跳过邮件2,直接发送邮件3」
  • 退出条件 — 当收件人完成期望操作(转化)时,将其从序列中移除。明确该序列中「转化」的定义。
  • 重新加入规则 — 用户能否重新加入序列?在什么条件下可以?(例如:「若用户在90天后再次流失,可重新加入赢回序列」)
  • 排除规则 — 若收件人已在其他活跃序列中、已退订营销邮件,或在过去48小时内联系过客服,则不发送邮件

4. Performance Benchmarks

4. 性能基准

Provide expected benchmarks based on the sequence type so the user can set targets:
MetricOnboardingLead NurtureRe-engagementWin-back
Open rate50-70%20-30%15-25%15-20%
Click-through rate10-20%3-7%2-5%2-4%
Conversion rate15-30%2-5%3-8%1-3%
Unsubscribe rate<0.5%<0.5%1-2%1-3%
Adjust benchmarks based on industry and audience if the user has provided that context.
根据序列类型提供预期基准,帮助用户设定目标:
指标用户引导线索培育用户重激活赢回流失用户
打开率50-70%20-30%15-25%15-20%
点击率10-20%3-7%2-5%2-4%
转化率15-30%2-5%3-8%1-3%
退订率<0.5%<0.5%1-2%1-3%
若用户提供了行业和受众相关信息,可调整上述基准。

Ask: "Would you like me to:
  • Revise the copy or tone for any specific email?
  • Add a branching path for a specific scenario?
  • Create a variation of this sequence for a different audience segment?
  • Draft the A/B test variants for the subject lines?
  • Build a companion sequence (e.g., a post-purchase follow-up after this lead nurture converts)?"
询问用户:「你是否需要我:
  • 修改某封邮件的文案或语调?
  • 为特定场景添加分支路径?
  • 为不同受众细分群体创建该序列的变体?
  • 起草主题行的A/B测试变体?
  • 构建配套序列(例如:线索培育转化后的售后跟进序列)?」
