How to Write Emails with AI in Automations

Save time and create professional emails for your childcare center using Enrollio's built-in Email AI. Whether you're sending tour confirmations, enrollment updates, or promotional messages, AI handles the copywriting so you can focus on running your center.

What is Email AI?

Email AI is your built-in writing assistant that creates professional, personalized email content inside your automations. Instead of writing from scratch, just describe what you need—like "Send a welcome email to new families" or "Remind parents about upcoming enrollment deadlines"—and AI generates the email for you.

No copywriting experience needed. Just describe your goal and get polished results instantly.

Why Use Email AI?

Email AI transforms how you communicate with families:

  • Save time: Generate professional emails in seconds instead of starting from a blank page
  • Stay consistent: Maintain your center's voice across all parent communications
  • Boost engagement: AI creates subject lines designed to get opened
  • Reduce errors: Get polished, typo-free content every time
  • Empower your team: Anyone on staff can create effective emails—no writing skills required

How to Use Email AI

Follow these steps to generate emails in your automations:

1. Add the Send Email Action

In your automation builder, add or select the Send Email action where you want the email to send.

2. Open the AI Writer

Click the Write with AI button to launch the email generator.

3. Describe Your Email

Tell AI what you need in plain language. Be specific about your goal.

Examples:

  • "Write a welcome email for families who just enrolled their child"
  • "Send a reminder about our open house next Saturday with registration link"
  • "Thank parents for scheduling a tour and confirm their appointment details"

4. Choose Your Tone (Optional)

Select the tone that matches your center's personality. The default is Neutral, but you can choose:

  • Friendly: Warm and welcoming
  • Professional: Polished and formal
  • Casual: Relaxed and conversational
  • Neutral: Balanced and clear

5. Generate Your Email

Click Generate and let AI create your email content and subject line.

6. Review and Customize

Check the AI-generated content. You can:

  • Use the Use Subject checkbox to include or skip the AI-generated subject line
  • Click Re-generate and add a follow-up prompt like "Make it shorter" or "Add more warmth"
  • Manually edit any part of the email before saving

7. Insert the Email

Once you're happy with the content, click Use Email to add it to your automation.

Pro Tip: Add personalization tags like {{first_name}} or {{child_name}} after generating the email to make each message feel personal to families.
