Chaining context: If S1 (product research) was run earlier in the conversation, pull product.name, product.affiliate_url, product.key_benefits, and product.reward_value automatically. Do not ask the user to repeat information already provided.
Collect required inputs. If product.name and product.affiliate_url are present (from user or S1 chain), proceed. Otherwise ask:
If product.key_benefits is not provided, infer 3 benefits from the product name and category using your training knowledge. State: "Based on what I know about [product], I'm using these key benefits: [list]. Correct me if needed."
Map each email to its purpose using the 7-email arc. For a 5-email sequence, drop emails 6 and 7. For a 6-email sequence, drop email 7.
| # | Day | Type | Purpose |
|---|-----|------|---------|
| 1 | 0 | Welcome | Deliver lead magnet, set expectations, build trust |
| 2 | 1 | Value | Teach something useful (no sell) |
| 3 | 3 | Value + Soft Mention | More value, casual mention of the product |
| 4 | 5 | Soft Sell | Introduce the product properly, benefits focus |
| 5 | 7 | Hard Sell | Clear CTA, urgency (limited offer / deadline if available) |
| 6 | 10 | Objection Handling | Answer top 3 objections, social proof |
| 7 | 14 | Follow-Up / Last Chance | "Did you see this?" re-engagement email |
For each email, write all four components:
Subject Line: 40-60 characters. Use curiosity, specificity, or direct benefit. Avoid spam trigger words (free, guaranteed, act now).
Preview Text: 80-100 characters. Extends the subject line, adds context or intrigue. Shown in inbox preview.
Body Copy:
Formatting rules:
CTA structure:
Each email that contains an affiliate link must include a one-line FTC disclosure. Place it immediately before or after the affiliate link:
> *Affiliate disclosure: I may earn a commission if you purchase through my link, at no extra cost to you.*
For email clients that strip formatting, also include plain text disclosure in the footer.
Present all emails in order. Each email formatted as:
---
EMAIL [N] — Day [X] — [Type]
---
Subject: [subject line]
Preview: [preview text]
[Body copy]
[CTA]
[Signature]
---
After all emails, provide the Setup Instructions section.

[YOUR_AFFILIATE_LINK] before setting it up in your ESP."Example 1: Product + audience provided
User: "Write an email sequence for HeyGen (my link: heygen.com/ref/abc123) targeting YouTube creators who opted in for my AI tools checklist."
Action: 7-email sequence, Day 0 delivers checklist, emails 2-3 teach AI video creation tips, emails 4-7 pitch HeyGen with creator-specific angles (save editing time, AI avatars, multilingual).
Example 2: Chained from S1
Context: S1 found Semrush with 30% recurring commission targeting SEO consultants.
User: "Now write an email sequence for this."
Action: Pull product details from S1 output. Write 7-email sequence targeting SEO consultants. Lead magnet assumed to be SEO-related content.
Example 3: Minimal input
User: "Write me a drip sequence for my Notion template affiliate program"
Action: Ask for affiliate URL and audience. Use Notion affiliate program knowledge for benefits. Write 5-email sequence (conservative default for shorter products with simpler buying journey).
