Welcome & onboarding

An open, cobalt workspace with a numbered getting-started path and room for a personal welcome.

Atlas — sample sender

Welcome to Atlas, Alex

Your Northstar Studio workspace is ready when you are.
Synthetic sample · Links inactive · Browser rendering

Preview the same design you download. Sample data and inactive links; browser rendering doesn’t establish email-client compatibility.

When to use it

Send once after a workspace is successfully created. Replace the three setup steps with actions your product actually offers.

Includes inbox preview text, a clear action, a fallback URL, and a support link. The HTML uses inline styles, a fluid table layout, and system fonts, with a decorative illustration and no tracking pixels. Every action and important detail stays in live text.

The artwork is yours, too

The full collection includes lightweight JPEGs for your emails and full-resolution PNG originals. The HTML uses a shared Stampwing image URL. You can self-host the JPEG and replace its URL, or attach it using your provider’s content-ID support. The collection also includes editable SVG originals for the ten new designs, plus offline previews with sample data.

Illustrations are decorative. If an inbox blocks images, the message, details, and action remain readable.

Make it yours

Replace every placeholder using your template engine. Escape values for their HTML context and validate action URLs against your approved HTTPS origins.

The subject and preheader are separate: the preheader is the short text many inboxes show beside the subject. Set the subject in your sending API; the HTML already contains the hidden preheader. Send the matching text as the plain-text alternative.

Implementation checklist

  • Trigger only after successful account and workspace creation.
  • Keep the workspace link authorized for its intended recipient.
  • Match the setup steps to your current product.
  • Deduplicate the welcome operation so retries don’t send another welcome.
