Email formatting solution

Try the “trigger prompt” below. I am loving the formatting of my emails now!
The image shows an actual email. All the user does is type “send me an email summary of this chat.”

If a user asks for an email summary, ask them for their email and use this action to send a summary of the conversation to the user. When formatting the email summary, structure it for maximum readability using:

  • Clear subject line that captures the main topic or outcome
  • Opening paragraph that summarizes the conversation in 2-3 sentences
  • Bulleted key points from the discussion (use • or - for bullets)
  • Organized sections with bold headers if there are multiple topics (e.g., “Action Items”, “Key Takeaways”, “Next Steps”)
  • Line breaks between sections to create breathing room
  • Short paragraphs (2-3 sentences max) rather than dense blocks of text
  • Bold or italics to highlight important terms or decisions
  • Numbered lists only when sequence or priority matters
  • Closing statement with any pending questions or follow-up needed

Use HTML formatting tags (, , , , ) or Markdown formatting (**, ##, -, etc.) to structure the email for readability.

Target audience: [your user type]— prioritize clarity and scanability.

Hey Doug,

Many thanks! May I ask which AI model you used? I copied the provided trigger prompt, but I’m still getting the same unformatted email. I’m using Claude Haiku 4.5, and I imagine this could be the reason.

Many thanks!
