Frequently Asked Questions

How effective are these email templates?

Our templates follow best practices for personalization and timing, which are the two biggest factors in getting responses. The key is a clear, simple ask with a direct link — personalized requests consistently outperform generic ones.

Can I customize the generated emails?

Absolutely. The generator provides a starting point — customize the tone, add personal touches, and adjust the ask to match your relationship with the customer.

Does the generator create follow-up emails too?

Yes. Toggle the 'Include follow-up email' option to get a follow-up email with a suggested timing of 3-5 days after the initial request.
