# Slate AI: Drafting High-Engagement Emails

*This article is part of our Slate AI series, each focused on a single, high-impact prompt, why it works, what Slate AI might say, the power of a follow-up, and a template you can try yourself.*

## The prompt

- **For Admissions & Enrollment:** *“Write a short, positive reminder email for students who started but haven’t finished their application.”*
- **For Student Success:** *“Draft an encouraging email for a student who hasn’t logged into their portal in two weeks.”*

## Why it works

High-engagement emails share three qualities:

- **Audience clarity** - the message is written for a specific group.
- **A single goal** - return to the application, or log back into the portal.
- **Tone** - supportive and positive, so it feels like help, not pressure.

These prompts set all three conditions. That’s why Slate AI can produce drafts that work right away.

## What Slate AI might say

**🪪 Admissions Example**

> [!NOTE]
> Subject: You’re Almost There!
> 
> Hi [First Name],
> 
> We noticed you started your application but haven’t finished yet. We’d love to get to know you better. Log back in today to complete your application—you’re closer than you think.
> 
> [Finish My Application]

**🎓 Student Success Example**

> [!NOTE]
> Subject: Just Checking In
> 
> Hi [First Name],
> 
> We haven’t seen you in your portal recently, and we wanted to check in. Whether you need help staying on track, finding resources, or just a quick reminder, we’re here to support you.
> 
> [Log Back In]

## The power of a follow-up

The first draft is rarely the last. A simple follow-up like *“Make this email more energetic but still professional”* or *“Shorten this for mobile”* instantly refines the output. Each adjustment gets you closer to a message that resonates with your students.

## Try reframing it

- “Draft three subject line options that feel supportive but urgent.”
- “Write this reminder email in under 75 words.”
- “Add a sentence that highlights the upcoming deadline.”

Reframing helps you unlock multiple approaches from the same starting point.

## Prompt template

*“Write a [short/medium/long], [positive/supportive/energetic] email for [audience] who [specific action they haven’t completed]. The goal is to encourage them to [next step].”*

## Your turn

Think of a key moment where students often stall, an unfinished application, an unopened advising survey, or a missed orientation step. Drop that into the template, and let Slate AI draft the first version for you.
