The prompt

GitHub Copilot

Generate a complete email campaign for [PRODUCT/SERVICE] targeting [AUDIENCE]. The campaign includes 5 emails spaced over 14 days. For each email, provide: the subject line (with an A/B variant), preheader, responsive HTML body compatible with Outlook and Gmail (use tables for layout), a clear main CTA, and recommended send timing. The sequence should follow this progression: Email 1 - Welcome and value proposition, Email 2 - Education on the problem solved, Email 3 - Social proof and testimonials, Email 4 - Special offer with urgency, Email 5 - Final reminder and benefit recap. Use a [PROFESSIONAL/CONVERSATIONAL/FRIENDLY] tone and integrate personalization tags {{first_name}} and {{company}}. Add comments in the HTML code to facilitate later customization.

Why it works

This prompt works because it provides Copilot with a precise structured framework with clear technical constraints (responsive HTML, email client compatibility) and a defined narrative progression for each email. Specifying personalization tags and A/B variants steers the AI toward a directly production-ready output. By combining marketing context and technical requirements, the prompt leverages both of Copilot's strengths: code generation and natural language understanding.

Expected result

You will get a complete sequence of 5 emails with responsive HTML code ready to integrate into your email tool, including subject lines with test variants, optimized preheaders, and strategically placed CTAs. Each email will follow the defined persuasive progression and contain explanatory comments for easy future modifications. The code will be compatible with major email clients thanks to the use of HTML tables and inline styles.

FAQ

Can GitHub Copilot generate HTML emails compatible with all email clients?

GitHub Copilot generates HTML that follows email best practices (nested tables, inline styles, fallback attributes), but it is essential to test rendering with a tool like Litmus or Email on Acid before sending. Copilot is aware of constraints for Outlook, Gmail, and Apple Mail, but certain rendering specifics require manual adjustments, especially for dark mode and background images.

How do I adapt the prompt to use an email framework like MJML or React Email?

Simply add the framework name in your prompt, for example: 'Generate the code in MJML instead of raw HTML' or 'Use React Email components (@react-email/components)'. Copilot knows these frameworks and will adapt the syntax accordingly. MJML is recommended if you want more readable code that compiles into compatible HTML, while React Email is better suited for teams already using a JavaScript stack.

Can I use Copilot to personalize email content based on audience segments?

Yes, by specifying in your prompt the different segments and available personalization variables. Copilot can generate conditional blocks (like if/else in template languages such as Liquid or Handlebars) that display different content depending on the segment. Specify the segments in the prompt, for example: 'Adapt the message for three segments: new subscribers, active customers, customers inactive for 90 days', and Copilot will structure the variants accordingly.
