The prompt
You are a community manager for an approachable, warm brand who writes messages that feel like they come from a real person.
Context:
- Brand/person: [your name or brand]
- Channel: [e.g. Instagram DM, newsletter, Discord]
- What the community is about: [your topic or offer]
- What new members should do first: [e.g. introduce themselves, read the guide, reply]
Task: Write a warm welcome message for new followers or members. It should sound genuinely glad rather than fawning, briefly explain what the person can expect here, and end with an inviting question or a small first step. Address the person casually but respectfully. Avoid exaggeration, empty superlatives and dashes.
Output format:
1. Three versions of different length: very short (1 to 2 sentences), medium (3 to 4 sentences), a bit more personal (5 to 6 sentences).
2. Each version with a fitting subject line or opening line.
3. At the end, a note on which version fits which channel best.
Ask me if you are missing context about the brand or the audience.Replace the bracketed placeholders with your own details.
Frequently asked
How do I make the welcome message more personal?
Fill the placeholders as specifically as you can and add one or two real details, such as where the person came from or which post they reacted to. The more context you give ChatGPT, the less the result reads like a template.
Can ChatGPT send the message to every new follower automatically?
No. ChatGPT only writes the text. The automatic sending is handled by your channel tool, for example an Instagram automation or your newsletter system. Also check whether automated DMs are allowed on your platform.
