Introduction

Draft prompt templates allow you to automatically generate complete content drafts – such as blog articles, whitepapers, or structured expert content.

They are designed for scalable content creation and are used in the Content AI → Content Ideas section.


What are draft prompt templates?

Draft prompt templates consist of multiple prompts that are executed sequentially.

👉 This allows a full, structured text to be created step by step.


Difference from regular prompt templates

Regular prompt templates

  • One single prompt per request

  • Used in the AI Assistant (chat) or editor

  • Ideal for smaller tasks (e.g. titles, outlines, text sections)

Draft prompt templates

  • Multiple prompts executed automatically in sequence

  • Used in the Content Ideas section

  • Ideal for complete content pieces (e.g. articles, whitepapers)


How do draft prompt templates work?

A template includes several logically connected steps, for example:

  1. Create structure or outline

  2. Generate introduction

  3. Write the main body

  4. Create conclusion

👉 These prompts are automatically passed to the AI one after another.
👉 The result is a cohesive, complete content draft in the editor.


Why is this useful?

  • Create full content drafts with one setup

  • Bypass length limitations of standard AI outputs

  • Improve structure and quality through step-by-step generation

  • Perfect for scaling long-form content production


Creating your own draft prompt templates

Go to:
📍 Settings → System → AI Assistant → Draft Prompt Templates

There you can:

  • Create new templates

  • Define an initial prompt (e.g. structure)

  • Add follow-up prompts for intro, body, and conclusion

  • Save and use templates in the Content Ideas section


Typical use cases

  • Whitepapers with clear chapter structure

  • Industry insights to position expertise

  • Product comparisons or how-to guides

  • Consistent B2B and B2C content formats


Available templates

You’ll find predefined templates in the system.

👉 Popular example:
“Industry Insight Structure” – ideal for in-depth, expert-level content.


Conclusion

Draft prompt templates are a key feature for automated content creation in contentbird.

👉 They help you efficiently produce structured, high-quality long-form content at scale.
