Use the AI Assistant to Draft an Email
Updated over a week ago

You can use the AI Assistant to help draft an email in Canopy. By doing this, you can save a ton of time while also improving emails' effectiveness. You have access to this feature from the Global + button, Global Inbox, and the Communications tab of a Client Record.

Note: Though the AI Assistant is an amazing tool, it is just that. A tool. The results will only be as good as your prompt. If you get an output that doesn't suit you, you can always revise your prompt. Your personal touch is essential to write engaging correspondence that resonates with your clients!

Example: You want to email Ms. Devereaux to set up an appointment for May 2nd at 4 p.m. You also want to discuss which payment method she would prefer. She can pay through the Client Portal or she can have you process the payment from your end. To end the message, you want to offer a 5% discount on next year's tax filing if she refers 2 of her friends or family members to your firm.

In this situation, you'll enter the following prompt in the What topics should this email cover? field:

"suggest meeting at 4 pm on 5/2, which payment method they prefer (client portal or we can process), offer 5% discount next year taxes if refers 2 people to the firm."
