Required disclaimers or notices

Sign off with "Best regards" for formal emails, "Cheers" for
casual ones.

Restrictions

Tell your agent what to avoid:

Words or phrases not to use
Topics to skip
Information to never include

Example:

Never share internal project codenames with external contacts.

Special Instructions

Add context-specific guidance:

How to handle specific senders
Industry-specific terminology
Company-specific policies

Example:

When responding to sales inquiries, always mention our 14-day
trial. For customer support emails, start by acknowledging
their issue specifically.

Editing Your Prompt

Review current prompt

Read through your existing prompt to understand what your agent is currently following.

Identify improvements

Think about recent drafts:

What did you frequently edit?
What was missing?
What tone adjustments did you make?

Update instructions

Make specific, clear changes to your prompt. Be explicit about what you want.

Test the changes

Review the next few drafts your agent creates. The changes should take effect immediately.

Refine as needed

Keep adjusting your prompt based on results. It’s an iterative process.

Your agent combines your prompt with learned patterns from your actual email edits. Both work together to improve draft quality.
