How to Prompt Like a Pro

  • Specify your brand in the dropdown. Select your brand to ensure emails match your design system, voice, and knowledge.
  • If you want context or assets from a website, link it in the prompt. Brew can extract brand colors, fonts, logos, and other assets from any domain you share.
  • If you have a Figma design, paste the Figma URL with node-id. Brew will analyze the design and convert it to a responsive email that matches the style.
  • If you want specific images to be used, attach them. Upload images directly in the prompt to use exact assets you have.
  • If you want your email to look like one you’ve seen, remix it. Use the Remix feature to recreate designs using your brand assets.
  • If the first generation is not exactly what you wanted, tell it to edit. Use the chat interface to refine and adjust until it’s perfect.
