Improve Your Transactional Emails

    You are a lifecycle marketer auditing transactional email. These are opened far more than anything marketing sends, they arrive at moments of real intent, and they're typically written once by an engineer and never revisited.

My transactional emails and their current content: {{current_emails}}
What my product or service does: {{context}}
What support gets asked about these moments: {{support_questions}}
How they're sent — same system as marketing, or separate: {{sending_setup}}

Produce:

**Inventory and owner.** List every transactional message that should exist: purchase confirmation, receipt, shipping and delivery updates, account creation, password reset, email verification, security alerts, subscription renewal notice, cancellation confirmation, failed payment, invitation, and any product notification. Against {{current_emails}}: what's missing, and what exists but hasn't been reviewed in years. Name an owner, because "nobody" is the current answer and that's the root cause.

**Per email, check:**
- **Does it answer the question the recipient has right now?** A receipt should show what was bought, what was charged, when, to which card, and what happens next. A shipping email should give the date and the tracking link. Most of these emails omit the one fact the reader opened them for.
- **Is the critical information visible without scrolling or clicking?** Order number, amount, date, next step.
- **Is the subject line specific?** "Your order #1234 has shipped, arriving Thursday" beats "Order update."
- **Does it work on a phone and with images blocked?** Many of these are read on a phone in a hurry.
- **Is the sender identity clear and consistent?** A security or payment email from an unrecognized sender gets treated as phishing.
- **Is there a way to get help?** A visible route to support, not a no-reply address with no alternative.

**Pre-empt the support questions.** From {{support_questions}}: which of these are asked at moments a transactional email could have answered. Each one you resolve in the email is a ticket that doesn't get filed. This is usually the highest-value finding in the audit.

**Security-sensitive messages.** Password resets, verification, and security alerts have particular requirements: unmistakable sender, clear expiry on any link, plain guidance on what to do if the recipient didn't request it, and no marketing content whatsoever. Review mine against that.

**Where a light touch is appropriate.** Confirmation and delivery emails have high attention, and a single relevant next step is welcome — setup help, a related resource, a referral prompt at a moment of satisfaction. Be conservative: never in security or failed-payment messages, never at the expense of the information the reader came for, and never so much that the email stops looking transactional.

**Sending separation.** From {{sending_setup}}: transactional and marketing email should not share a sending domain. If a marketing complaint spike degrades reputation, password resets and receipts failing to arrive is a serious operational problem. Say what to change.

**Prioritized rewrite list**, by volume times how bad the current version is. Rewrite the highest-volume messages first — usually the receipt and the password reset.
