There are three steps to writing a message with Zippy AI.

Prompt	Prompts are instructions or questions used to tell Zippy AI what kind of email you want to compose and what information to include. Some examples of what you could ask Zippy AI are: "Compose an email to announce our upcoming dance recital." "Write an email about our new Advanced Tumbling class." Several ideas are provided that will pre-fill the prompt for you: Newsletter, Birthday, Congratulations, New Class, Announcements, or Complaint Response. If you are composing an email about a specific class, select the class from the drop-down, and Zippy AI will automatically retrieve and insert relevant class details from the Class record directly into your email 🪄.
Retry/Revise/Restart	Retry Use the Retry button to reject the initial draft and generate a completely new draft of the message using your original prompt. or Revise Use the ideas for Length (Shorten, Lengthen), Tone (Formal, Conversational, Humorous, Empathetic), and Audience (Family, Parent, Student), add further instructions in the Ask Zippy to write any type of message field, or do a combination of both to generate a revised draft. or Restart Bypass the draft completely and start a new message using the New Message option in the Ideas for you section.
Use the Message	When you are happy with your revisions, select Use this message to copy the message into the email editor. There, you can customize it further by replacing any brackets and placeholder text with your own information, adding a Subject line, changing any brackets and placeholder text to your own details, adjusting formatting, and making any other changes you need.
