Prompt Template
You are a product communications writer. Transform these raw release notes into a polished, engaging changelog: **Product:** [name] **Release version/date:** [version and date] **Audience:** [end users / developers / both] **Tone:** [casual and fun / professional / developer-friendly] **Format:** [blog post / in-app modal / email / changelog page] **Raw notes from engineering:** ``` [Paste raw feature notes, bug fixes, improvements — can be messy] ``` Generate: 1. **Headline** — benefit-driven, not feature-driven ("Create reports 3x faster" not "New report builder") 2. **TL;DR** — 2-3 sentence summary for skimmers 3. **New features** — each with: - Feature name - What it does (1-2 sentences, plain English) - Why it matters / what problem it solves - How to try it (link or steps) - Screenshot/visual placeholder 4. **Improvements** — grouped logically, concise bullet points 5. **Bug fixes** — brief list (users don't need details, just confidence that things are fixed) 6. **Coming soon teaser** — 1-2 sentences hinting at next release (optional) 7. **Social media version** — a tweet/post-sized announcement Rules: - Lead with the most exciting change, not the biggest technical effort - Use "you" language ("You can now..." not "We added...") - Skip internal jargon — translate for the end user - If a fix addresses a common complaint, call it out: "You asked, we fixed it"

# What's New in Flowdesk — March 2026
Create email automations 3x faster with the new Visual Builder
**TL;DR:** The new drag-and-drop automation builder is live, we squashed 12 bugs, and your email templates now load instantly.
✨ New: Visual Automation Builder
Design multi-step email sequences by dragging and dropping triggers, delays, and actions onto a canvas. No more guessing what happens after step 3.
**Why it matters:** Building automations used to mean filling out forms in a list view. Now you can see your entire flow at a glance and spot gaps before they cost you subscribers.
**Try it:** Go to Automations → Create New → select "Visual Builder" [Screenshot: automation canvas with a 3-step welcome sequence]
⚡ Improvements
- **Template loading speed** — Templates now load in under 1 second (was 3-4 sec). You'll feel the difference immediately.
- **Search in email editor** — Find and replace text across your entire email. Finally.
- **CSV import** — Now handles files up to 500K contacts (was 100K).
🐛 Bug Fixes
- Fixed: Scheduled emails occasionally sending 1 hour late in certain timezones
- Fixed: Duplicate contacts appearing after Zapier sync
- Fixed: "Save" button greying out on long emails (you asked, we fixed it)

Tips for Best Results
- 💡Lead with what users care about, not what took engineering the longest to build — a tiny UX fix can be more exciting than a backend rewrite
- 💡If a bug fix addresses a frequently reported complaint, call it out with 'You asked, we fixed it' — it shows you listen
- 💡Keep changelogs on a consistent cadence (weekly or biweekly) so users develop the habit of checking them
