If you only do one, do the campaign calendar. ## Where to start, in order 1. **Prompt Writing 101:** role, context, task and format, the same parts your agent's system message needs. 2. **AI Social Media Idea Agent:** your first n8n agent: trigger, model, memory and the Sheets tool. 3. **AI Campaign Calendar Agent:** one theme and one real offer become two weeks of emails and posts, saved to a sheet. 4. **AI Lead Magnet Signup Form:** an agent tags each signup by interest and emails the guide. 5. **Find and Use n8n Templates:** adapt a ready-made form-to-sheet-to-Gmail workflow. ## A prompt to copy: ad variations Copy ```text Role: You are the ad copywriter for [BUSINESS], writing ads we will run ourselves. Context: The product is [PRODUCT]. Facts we can use: [FACTS]. The only offer is [OFFER]. Never make health or results claims, never invent a discount, review or deadline, and never mention competitors. Task: Write ad variations for [AD TYPES]. Each variation should lead with a different fact from the list above. Format: Use these limits, counting every character including spaces: [CHARACTER LIMITS]. Write each line, then its character count in parentheses. Plain words, no emoji, no all caps, no exclamation marks. ``` From the free prompt library. List only real facts and your real offer. ## What AI must not decide - **No claims you can't prove:** no health claims, "best in town" or invented statistics. - **No invented offers, reviews or testimonials.** - **Consent stays with you.** Only email people who asked, include a way to unsubscribe, and honor it. - **Read the first welcome emails.** The signup agent sends on its own. **Remember:** Put the rules in the system message: no invented discounts, no health claims, no invented reviews. Check the email law where you send. **Have a professional review it.** This prompt helps you draft, not decide. AI can get the law wrong and doesn’t know your jurisdiction or your facts, so have a licensed attorney review anything legal before you send or sign it.
