Safe Handoff

Draft a clear price change notice for customers

Handoff 2 Drafts for review Reviewed 1 Nov 2026 Set-up: 10 minutes

Who it's for
Owners raising prices who dread the awkward message
Outcome
A polite, plain notice you can send once you have checked the details.
Why Handoff 2
It writes a draft for you to check and send.

Steps

  1. Tell it the old and new prices, the start date and the reason, if you want to give one.
  2. Say who the notice is for and the tone you want.
  3. Ask it to flag anything it assumed.
  4. Check the figures and dates, then send it yourself.

Copy-paste prompt

Works with any agent. Replace the [square brackets] with your details.

Draft a short, friendly notice telling [customers] that [product/service] changes from [old price] to [new price] on [date]. Reason to give (optional): [reason].

Use only the figures and dates above; if something is missing, write [CHECK: ...]. Output the draft only; do not send.

Notes for each agent

Only features we found in each provider's official documentation on 1 Nov 2026 are stated as product facts, with the source linked. Product features change; check before relying on them.

Claude Suggested

Ask Claude to save drafts, not send them. In Cowork's Manual mode it pauses for approval before using connector tools set to 'Needs approval'. Avoid 'Skip' mode for anything sent in your name.

ChatGPT Suggested

Before an app action such as sending an email, ChatGPT may show an approval card. Keep your email app on 'Always ask' or 'Allow read actions' so sending always needs your OK.

Gemini Suggested

Gemini can draft Gmail messages in chat (Google Workspace connected app required). The draft has a Send button, so read it first, or use 'Edit in Gmail' on the web to finish it in Gmail.

Microsoft Copilot Suggested

In Outlook, 'Draft with Copilot' writes a draft you edit and send yourself, and 'Coaching by Copilot' can suggest tone and clarity fixes.

Open agents & automations Suggested

In n8n, connect the send tool through a human review step: the workflow pauses and shows the exact message for Approve or Deny.
