Crisis Communication template
Post-Incident Customer Email
Send a personal post-incident email that treats each customer as an individual. This is the exact template that ships in Nimply’s AI Content Studio — the full prompt is below, with every fill-in variable highlighted.
The full prompt
Write a direct email to affected customers from [brand_name] after [incident]. This is a 1-to-1 style email, not a mass announcement. Subject line (3 options — honest and direct). Email body (200-300 words): personal greeting, a clear statement of what happened and how it affected them specifically, a genuine apology, what you have done to fix it, how you are preventing recurrence, a specific goodwill offer for them: [goodwill_offer], a direct line to support (not just a generic email), and a personal sign-off from a real person (name and title). Tone: personal, accountable, and [tone]. This should feel like a letter, not a template.
Copy it anywhere, or open it in Nimply where each highlighted variable becomes a form field and the output lands as a draft in your planner.

Craft notes
Getting the most from crisis communication templates
- Speed beats polish for the first statement; the holding-statement template exists so "we know, we’re on it" goes out in minutes.
- Say the uncomfortable word. Apologies that never say "sorry" and outage posts that never say "down" read as evasion.
- Commit to the next update time, not the fix time — you control one of them.
- These are communication templates, not legal advice; breach notifications in particular have jurisdiction-specific requirements your counsel owns.
