Set up copywriting, prompts, and templates

Use Copywriting settings for shared style and delivery rules, and use Templates for reusable prompts, replies, and Deep Research instructions. Each campaign still needs the correct list, signal, persona, language, and sender context.

Test every new template across different segments and languages. A consistent message is useful only when its facts, tone, CTA, recipient, and sender behaviour are appropriate.

Before you start

  • Confirm the approved brand voice and prohibited wording.
  • Choose allowed languages and who may act as a sender.
  • Review the approved Knowledge DB and research inputs.
  • Define channel-specific message and delivery constraints.
  • Prepare representative test leads from different segments and languages.

Prefer control over superficial consistency

Shared rules should reduce obvious mistakes without making every message identical. Maintain several approved frameworks and CTA options, then give the campaign a concrete reason to use one.

  • Keep greetings and sign-offs appropriate to each channel.
  • Blacklist inaccurate, insensitive, or off-brand wording.
  • Offer approved alternatives instead of only banning words.
  • Use CTAs that match the signal and relationship.
  • Set one explicit output language for each workflow.
  • Keep limits and delays aligned with channel safeguards.

Steps

  1. **Define shared style. **Set greeting, sign-off, subject patterns, tone, and structure.
  2. **Configure content rules. **Maintain the wording blacklist, alternatives, evidence rules, and CTA pool.
  3. **Review delivery defaults. **Set message limits, send delays, and sender constraints only where supported and approved.
  4. **Create reusable templates. **Use placeholders for segment, persona, signal, language, and verified evidence.
  5. **Configure Deep Research separately. **Keep research source-backed instead of hiding broad research inside a message prompt.
  6. **Test several contexts. **Generate examples for different segments, signals, stages, channels, and languages.
  7. **Review every output. **Check facts, tone, CTA, recipient, sender, exclusions, and channel constraints.
  8. **Version approved changes. **Record owner, purpose, test set, and review date.

  • The wording blacklist and alternatives work as intended.
  • The CTA fits the relationship and signal strength.
  • No private notes, credentials, or internal links appear.
  • Sender, limits, and delays match channel safeguards.
  • Messages remain subject to human review.

Troubleshooting

ProblemSolution
All messages sound the sameUse several approved frameworks and CTAs, then add specific segment and signal context.
The wrong language is generatedCheck AI output language, lead language, campaign template, and separate-language campaign requirements.
A prohibited phrase still appearsConfirm the blacklist is saved and applied, then test a new output and tighten the template.
A message invents a product claimRemove it, verify the Knowledge DB and source, and restrict the template to supported evidence.
Delivery settings conflict with a campaignUse the stricter approved safeguard and resolve the configuration before activation.

Frequently asked questions

What belongs in Copywriting settings?

Shared style, content, wording, CTA, language, and supported delivery rules.

What belongs in Templates?

Reusable prompts, replies, and Deep Research instructions that campaigns adapt to a list, persona, signal, and language.

How do I stop every message sounding identical?

Maintain several approved structures and CTAs, and include the specific signal, segment, and relationship context.

Why is the wrong language used?

Keep operational limits and delays in supported delivery settings and campaign controls, not in prompt prose alone.
