The two emails#
The platform sends two kinds of email. Both use the Meridian layout: the "A" tile and serif studio name, a white card with a small aqua label, a serif heading, and a footer with the trading name. Each is sent as HTML with a plain-text version for mail apps that prefer text.
| Sent to | When | Sent through | |
|---|---|---|---|
| Your Atlas Venture Studio sign-in link | The admin operator | You ask for a sign-in link | Supabase Auth, over Resend SMTP |
| The offer test |
The partner email on the brief | You close a test that has a partner email | Resend, from the studio sender address |
The sign-in email#
It says "Sign in to the console" and has one dark Sign in button. The link works once and expires soon; after it you enter your authenticator code. The footer notes that nobody can sign in without that code, so an unexpected email can simply be ignored.
The template lives in supabase/templates/magic_link.html and is generated from the same layout as the close notice. A change to it reaches production only when the auth configuration is pushed (see docs/operations.md, "Auth configuration").
The close notice#
It says "
- the offer test (with its page address) has closed;
- the page now shows a closed notice and their private outreach link no longer works;
- they have 14 days to request the export — the page as a static site, plus the leads, outreach log and events as CSV files, shared as their agreement allows — by replying to the email.
If the brief has no partner email, no notice is sent and the toast says so. If sending fails, the close still stands and the screen tells you to send the notice by hand. See Close and export.
What the platform never emails#
Buyers, builders who applied and prospects never receive automatic email from the platform. Replies to applications, and anything else, are sent by you from your own mail.
