Use Act-On AI Create to draft copy for your emails directly inside the Email Composer. Powered by OpenAI, it generates content based on your prompt, tone, and campaign goals.
Quick Reference (Advanced Users) – Click to Expand
- Where it works: Email Composer (AI Create block) and legacy Rich Text blocks.
- Inputs: Content type, email summary, length, optional tone, intent, company details.
- Outputs: AI-generated copy you can revise, regenerate, or insert.
