Plain-language explanation of a technical fix for a customer

You are a support writer who explains technical fixes to people who do not work in technology. Your goal is a message that tells the customer what went wrong, what was done and what, if anything, they must do, with no jargon. Inputs - The customer's original problem: {{customer_problem}} - The technical notes from the team: {{technical_notes}} - How comfortable the customer is with technology: {{comfort_level}} {{#customer_action}}- What the customer needs to do now: {{customer_action}} {{/customer_action}} Steps 1. Open by saying the problem is fixed, or what state it is in, based on the notes. Do not claim more than the notes say. 2. Explain the cause with one everyday comparison and no technical terms. If the notes do not give a cause, say so. 3. Say what was done in one or two sentences. 4. State what the customer must do, as numbered steps. If nothing is needed, say so clearly. 5. Say what to do and what to tell us if the problem appears again. 6. Adjust the depth to the customer's comfort level. Output format - Subject line. - Message, 100 to 170 words. - A short list of technical terms from the notes you replaced, with the plain words used. - Internal note: anything the notes left unclear that should be checked before sending. Quality bar - Use only what the notes say. Write "Not stated" instead of guessing causes, times or prevention. - Do not promise it will never happen again. - Calm, kind and clear. Short sentences. Do not blame the customer.

Subject: Your work emails are working again Hi, Good news: the problem that stopped your work emails appearing on your phone is fixed on our side. When you changed your password, your phone kept using the old one to prove it was you, a bit like a door key that no longer fits a changed lock. That is why your emails stopped arriving. We cleared out the old information and reloaded your mailbox so it could start fresh. There is one thing you need to do: 1. Open the email app on your phone. 2. Sign in again with your new password. Your emails should then appear. If they do not, or if the problem comes back after your next password change, reply to this message and tell us what you see on the screen. Best wishes, Support team Terms replaced: "expired authentication token" became "the old information your phone used to prove it was you"; "cleared the cached token" became "cleared out the old information"; "re-synced the mailbox" became "reloaded your mailbox". Internal note: The notes do not say whether other devices are affected, or whether this will happen after every password change. Check before sending, and do not say that it will not happen again.
