Email Generation with Knak AI

Create on brand emails in minutes

Updated yesterday

Use Knak AI to generate a fully structured, brand-consistent email draft using your prompt, assets, and brand theme. This gives marketers a quick and easy starting point to refine before launch.

Currently in alpha testing. Reach out to kate.mosley@knak.com for support.


How Email Generation Works

1. Start With Your Prompt

  • Describe what you want to build (e.g., "a product launch email for our new release")

  • Add supporting files like a Campaign Brief PDF, a copy doc, or a URL

2. Choose Your Design/Layout

  • Apply a brand theme

  • Upload a PDF of a previous email

  • Or let Knak AI create a new design from scratch

3. Add Images

  • Upload from desktop, Knak Image Library, or your Digital Asset Manager (DAM)

  • Provide a URL to help Knak AI source images (must be from a public site)

4. Click Submit

  • Knak AI will generate your email in a few minutes and notify you when it's ready

5. Review and Refine

  • Knak AI delivers a fully editable draft with structure, copy, and images

  • Regenerate, rewrite, or edit sections as needed within the builder


Best Practices

Prompt Tips

  • Clearly state your goal, audience, and tone

  • Include any key messages, calls to action (CTA), or deadlines

  • Mention attachments (e.g., "Use the attached brief")

Prompt Examples

  • "Create a product launch email for our new analytics dashboard. Use a confident, innovative tone and highlight faster insights."

  • "Write a re-engagement email for lapsed users. Friendly tone, short copy, and a strong CTA to log back in."

  • "Generate an event invite using the attached brief. Include date, time, and registration link."

  • "Build an awareness campaign email based on this URL. Conversational tone with brand storytelling."

Attachment Recommendations

  • Use one campaign brief and one layout reference for best results

  • Prefer URLs over very large PDF files

No. A detailed prompt is enough. Attachments just improve output accuracy.

Can it generate new images?

Not yet. Only existing images can be uploaded or linked.

What if my PDF is too large?

Compress or split the file into parts under 5MB, or link to an online version.

Yes. You can regenerate, rewrite sections, or edit directly in the builder.

If Brand Voice is enabled, Knak AI will follow your tone and style rules.
