The prompt

Draft thank-you emails after our event.

Event name: [EVENT NAME]
Our company: [COMPANY]
Attendees (name + one personal note each):
[PASTE — e.g. "Jane — asked about enterprise pricing"
"Alex — interested in integration with Salesforce"]

For each person, write:
- Subject line
- Email body (under 120 words)
- Reference their specific note — no generic "great meeting you"
- One soft next step (calendar link, resource, or "reply if questions")
- Warm, professional tone

Draft only — I will send from Gmail myself.
Separate each email clearly with --- between drafts.

Paste into Claude Desktop. Claude will use your connected apps: Gmail.

Expected outcome

Personalized thank-you email drafts for each attendee with subject lines.

Troubleshooting

I can't find Connectors in Claude Desktop

Cause

You may be using the website instead of the desktop app.

Solution

Download Claude Desktop from claude.ai/download. Open Settings → Connectors or Integrations.

An app won't connect

Cause

Wrong account or company requires IT approval.

Solution

Reconnect with your work account. If blocked, paste the relevant text into Claude and say "Use only what I pasted."

The output is too long or vague

Cause

The prompt needs a tighter focus.

Solution

Reply: "Shorter — bullet points only" or "Top 3 items only."
