20 Confirmation Email Examples (Templates to Use)

A confirmation email might get used inside of an automated message (like a newsletter, for example). Or sometimes, its used by an administrator to communicate with clients, customers, or parties involved about upcoming events or orders. For example, an email saying, "Just confirming your order with us" might go out by someone who is in operations, making sure that all of the order looks correct before shipment.

Key takeaways:

  • Choose an email template that best matches the type of email automation you're trying to configure.
  • It's best to let your customers or Users know that an email is automated. And let them know when it's not automated.
  • According to MailChimp, using short email subject lines will increase your chances of the email getting opened by the end user.

My Top Tips for Sending These Emails...

Here are my top tips to think through:

1. Let people know the email isn't automated

Saying something like, "Hey, this isn't an automated email and I just wanted to touch base." Will certainly have a much higher open rate and response rate than when it doesn't say it. People are very used to getting automated messages and it's nice to tell them when it's not.

2. Use a short email subject line

I think this goes without saying. Although, according to MailChimp, there are many ways to optimize an email for open rates. And this is one of them.

Think of an email subject line that's catchy and going to stand out amongst all the other emails the person is going to receive. In fact, just by thinking that through, there's a greater chance of reducing issues or errors in cases where it's an order confirmation email.

3. When in doubt, check with your manager

Sometimes, brands really like to control what emails are sent and what they say. Marketing departments are going to be the best ones to consult with when it comes to the representation of what your brand says in these emails. If you're unsure of what the email should say and how it should say it—consult with them.

Getting input from other team members is never a bad idea. In fact, it just furthers your collaborative value within the business and that can be a good thing.
