When to use this template

  • Writing the first onboarding sequence for a SaaS product or app
  • Replacing a timed welcome series with emails triggered by what users do
  • Finding the step where new users stall and writing an email for it

How to get a useful result

  1. Define one activation moment, a specific action such as sending a first invoice. "Gets value from the product" is too vague to design around.
  2. Describe barriers you have actually observed in support tickets or user calls. Use anonymized wording rather than customers' names.
  3. Check the triggers against the events your product really tracks. A behavior-based email cannot fire on an event you do not record.

What this template does—and its limits

The AI does not know your users' behavior or your product's data, so test the sequence and check its claims. Parampt prepares the instructions; it does not send emails or set up automations.

Read the full reusable prompt
Act as a lifecycle marketer focused on product usage. Design an onboarding sequence for {{product}}, aimed at {{audience}}.

Desired activation moment: {{activation}}
Observed barriers: {{frictions}}
Tone: {{tone}}

First map the steps between sign-up and the first useful result. Distinguish time-based messages from behavior-triggered messages. For each email, state the trigger, delay, eligible segment, user goal, subject line, preheader, main message, a single CTA, measurement event, and sequence exit rule.

Write 6 complete emails covering welcome, first action, likely friction, proof by example, re-engagement after inactivity, and habit reinforcement. Include branches based on completed actions so you never request a finished step. Finish with an instrumentation plan, success metrics, and 3 priority tests. Avoid false urgency and unproven promises.
