Mastering Email Management with ChatGPT Prompts
1. Politely Decline Invitations
Prompt:
Create a response for this email where, in a few polite sentences, you decline the invitation.
Decline unwanted invitations swiftly and politely using ChatGPT. Provide a plausible reason for your unavailability and suggest alternative conditions for acceptance.
2. Respond Based on Principles
Prompt (Part 1):
Analyse this text from my bio, company about page, and recent email sent to a [friend/colleague]. From the text please suggest 5 work principles, which are rules I stand by in my role and dealings with colleagues. After giving the principles, ask if they match my personality, and suggest new ones until we agree on a final 5.
Prompt (Part 2):
Using these 5 principles, create a short response to the following email that [agrees/disagrees/accepts/etc with the message]. Respond in the way someone who stands by those principles would respond: [Paste email].
Train ChatGPT to respond to emails based on your core work principles. This two-part prompt helps you analyse your professional values and craft responses that align with them.
3. Appease the Sender
Prompt: I have received this email from [relationship to you] and I’m not sure how to respond. Suggest a response of 3 sentences or fewer that satisfies the sender and ensures no follow up response. Use your analysis of their email to me to gauge what they want. [Paste email or email thread]
Unsure how to respond to an email? Let ChatGPT analyse the sender’s message and suggest a brief, satisfying response that minimises the chance of follow-ups.
4. Say “Yes, but Not Yet”
Prompt:
Create a response to this email that tells the sender, ‘yes, but not yet’ in an appropriate way. I can’t fulfill their request now because [reason, e.g. I’m busy] but I may be able to [in/on date/timeframe] because [why it might be possible then]. Ask them to return with their request at this time. [Paste email]
Buy time and manage expectations by telling senders you’re unavailable at the moment but open to revisiting their request in the future. ChatGPT can help you craft the perfect response.
5. Throw It Back to Them
Prompt:
Create a response to this email that passes the work back to my [relationship to you]. From their request, request further information, request to see their work first, or ask what they think instead. Use words that give the best chance of throwing the ball back in their court, delivered in a polite email of no more than 3 sentences. [Paste email]
Shift the workload back to the sender by requesting more information or their thoughts on the matter. ChatGPT can assist you in politely deflecting the task.
