ChatGPT Prompts for Email Writing

Email prompts need the context a human writer would have: who is writing to whom, why now, what the one ask is, and how long the email may be. Each of these eight prompts asks for that context in its input fields, so ChatGPT writes an email you can send rather than a template with blanks.

Cold Outreach Email and Sales Prospecting Email start a conversation, Follow-up Email keeps one going, Marketing Email Generator writes to a list, Referral Email Generator asks a customer for an introduction, Subject Lines Generator gives you options to test, Email Newsletter Calendar plans the month, and Professional Email Editor rewrites a draft you paste in.

Choose the tone of voice (formal, friendly, frank) before copying. The templates also open inside ChatGPT once the free Keywords Everywhere extension is installed.

The first line of a cold email decides whether the rest is read, so give the prompt something specific about the recipient (a post they wrote, a product they launched) as an input; the opening line then refers to it. Keep follow-ups to three sentences; the prompt holds that limit if you ask for it.
