This is the starter email Atlis fills in when you add the First Project Created trigger.

Subject

Hi {{displayName}},

Nice work creating your first project in {{productName}}. That's the hardest step done.

Most people get the most value once they add a bit more detail and invite anyone they work with.

Open your project

Best,
The {{productName}} team

Tips for this email

Questions

How do I trigger this email?

Track a first_project_created event from your app with the Atlis snippet or Server API the first time a user creates one. Atlis sends the email once per user.

Can I use it for a different milestone?

Yes. Send the event whenever your product's first meaningful milestone happens, or create a custom trigger with your own event name.
