4 fields
Analyze the marketing email below and reverse-engineer why it may drive clicks. Base every observation on specific wording or structure in the email. Do not claim access to analytics or actual click behavior; label inferences as likely reasons. Do not invent testimonials, social proof, customer results, or facts not present in the email.

Email:
{{email_text}}

Target audience:
{{audience_profile}}

Intended call-to-action:
{{call_to_action}}

Industry or product context:
{{industry_context}}

Return exactly these four sections and keep the total response under 200 words:
Hook Used: Identify the specific opening line or technique and quote or closely reference the relevant wording.
Pattern/Structure: Briefly break down the email's sequence of sections and persuasion moves.
Why They Clicked: Explain the likely psychological or value-based click drivers, tied to specific email references and the intended call-to-action.
How to Replicate: Give exactly 3 actionable adaptation steps for this audience and context. Preserve the underlying strategy without copying claims or unverifiable proof.

{
  "email_text": "Subject: Your campaign reports are hiding the real problem\n\nMost teams do not have a traffic problem. They have a measurement problem. If your reports show clicks but not which messages create qualified leads, your next campaign is still a guess. See the three attribution checks we use before changing a single ad.

  "call_to_action": "Download the campaign attribution checklist",
  "audience_profile": "Demand generation managers at B2B SaaS companies who need to improve lead quality and defend campaign spend to executives.",
  "industry_context": "B2B SaaS marketing analytics and campaign attribution"

A small ritual that works

How to use it

  1. 01Paste the complete email, including its subject line and body, into Full email text.
  2. 02Describe the target readers, including their role, needs, goals, and pain points.
  3. 03State the intended call-to-action.
  4. 04Add the relevant industry and product or service context.

Why it works

The prompt gives the model a narrow analytical role: explain possible click drivers from the email itself without relying on outside evidence. It supplies audience, CTA, and industry context so the analysis can connect wording to reader needs and intended action. The required four-part structure encourages attention to the opening hook, message sequence, persuasive mechanism, and practical adaptation. Quoting or closely referencing the email also keeps the analysis anchored to observable language.

Where it fails

The prompt asks for a section titled "Why They Clicked" while also prohibiting claims about actual click behavior. That wording can create tension between a retrospective claim and the required use of cautious inference. The analysis is also limited when the email lacks a clear opening, identifiable structure, or explicit connection to the supplied audience and CTA.

Customisation tips

Replace the section title "Why They Clicked" with "Likely Click Drivers" to align the heading with the evidence limits. Add a required field for the campaign objective if the CTA alone does not explain the desired action. If the audience is specialized, expand the audience variable's helper text to request buying stage, objections, and decision criteria. Adjust the word limit when the email contains multiple sections or a complex offer.

Watch-outs

  • Keep every inference tied to wording or structure visible in the supplied email.
  • Do not turn audience or industry context into unsupported claims about customer behavior.
  • Preserve the instruction to avoid invented testimonials, social proof, results, and external facts.
  • The exact-three-step requirement should remain explicit when adaptation guidance must be consistent.
