Share campaign previews

This is real work, not a feature someone invented — it comes from real job ads and real questions people asked. Below are four ready AI prompts: get it done, make it easy for the next person to say yes to, work out the right move when you are stuck, and stop it coming back.

The same task, four prompts

I need to send a preview of the upcoming summer offer email to James in design and to Priya in legal by Wednesday afternoon. Include desktop and mobile screenshots, the subject line and preheader, and a short note on dynamic content blocks. Ask them to respond with edits by Thursday noon so I can schedule the send Friday morning.

Before I send previews to design and legal, make the review fast: show desktop and mobile renders first, then the subject line and preheader, then a one-line summary of personalization rules. Flag any links that go to staging instead of production, note where images might not display on Gmail, and call out any copy that mentions pricing so legal can focus there.

Design returned a preview saying images are broken only on mobile.
I sent the preview to James and he reported images show fine on desktop but not on mobile. I checked the template and image URLs look correct, but I don't know whether the problem is a responsive CSS issue, an image-hosting CDN block, or an email client quirk. What prioritized checks will tell me which of those it is and how to fix each possible cause?

Review rounds on previews drag on and miss the send date.
We repeatedly miss send dates because previews go through 3–4 review rounds with design and legal. Reviewers complain the preview is hard to evaluate and we miss obvious issues. What change to how we package and route previews will cut review time in half and ensure signoff by the deadline? Give the rule, the artifact reviewers get, and the deadline cadence.

Questions people actually ask

honest answers, no sign-up

Every task here was seen in the real world. Someone doing the job named it, a real job ad asked for it, or a lot of people asked about it online.

If nothing real showed a task, it is not on the page. That is the whole rule.

They are the same job approached four ways, because what you need depends on where you are.

Get it done today. Make it easy for the next person to say yes to. Work out the right move when you are stuck. Learn the pattern so the job stops coming back.

For most of these jobs it can carry the heavy thinking - draft it, sort it, check it, rehearse it with you.

It cannot sit in your chair, take the blame when a number is wrong, or notice what nobody wrote down. Let it do the first 80%. Keep the last 20% that is truly yours.

No. Copy any prompt and paste it into the AI you already use. No account, no score, no wall in the way.

Any of them. The prompts describe the work rather than naming a product, so they are not tied to one assistant.

That is also why they keep working when you switch.

Change it freely. Every prompt is a starting line, not a rule.

Put in your real numbers, your real names and your real deadline. The more you make it yours, the better the answer comes back.

The tasks come from real job ads, published job data and the questions people ask in public forums.

The steps come from Mailchimp's own documentation, with practitioner sources for the traps the manual does not mention.

Push once. Ask it to sharpen the weakest part and to say what it assumed.

Most wrong answers come from a missing detail rather than a bad prompt - tell it the thing it could not know.
