portfolio_consent_email
Draft an email requesting client permission to feature their project in your portfolio, with options for simple listing, showing work samples, or writing a case study.
Instructions
Write the email asking a client for permission to feature their project in your portfolio — the ask most freelancers either skip (and get caught out later) or make feel bigger than it needs to be. Three routes: add_to_portfolio (default — asking to name the client and list the project type in your portfolio; lowest-friction ask, single question, done in under 60 words), show_work_samples (asking to display actual screenshots, documents, or design files publicly — needs specific approval because you're sharing their outputs; names exactly what you want to show), full_case_study (requesting to write a detailed breakdown with results, metrics, or outcomes — warrants a slightly longer email with what you'd say and a clear opt-out so it doesn't feel like an obligation). Distinct from testimonial_request_email (asking them to write or approve a quote about you) and case_study_outline (an internal document structure). Does not count against your monthly draft limit. Required: client_name. Optional: project_name (helps the client know which project you mean), sample_description (for show_work_samples: what you want to show — e.g. 'the homepage, two interior pages, and the mobile screens'), results_to_share (for full_case_study: the metrics or outcomes you want to highlight — e.g. '40% faster proposal turnaround'), portfolio_url (where their work would appear — makes the ask concrete), route ('add_to_portfolio' | 'show_work_samples' | 'full_case_study' — default add_to_portfolio), your_name.
