Framework Editor: Customize Your Campaign Message Structures

How to open the Framework Editor, which built-in framework types are available and when to use them, and how to save your own custom frameworks.

The Framework Editor lets you control how your campaign messages are built. You can pick a built-in framework, customize it, or build your own from scratch and save it for future campaigns.


The quickest way: just use the chat

You don't need to open the editor to adjust your framework. In the chat panel, tell Twain what to change — "Make the opening shorter," "Use a different structure for the follow-ups," or "Lead with a pain point instead." Twain applies the update and you can regenerate from there.


When to use the Framework Editor instead

The editor makes sense when you want to:

  • Save a framework to reuse across campaigns

  • Control each section of the message precisely, step by step

  • Build a shared template for your team


How to open it

Inside a campaign, your sequence steps and generated messages are already visible in the main view. To edit the framework for a specific step, click the pencil icon on that step. This opens the Framework Editor, where you'll see the structural template, the instructions and placeholders that tell Twain how to build the message.


Built-in framework types

Twain comes with six ready-to-use frameworks. Pick the one that fits your outreach situation:

  • Relevance and Observation focus on personalizing your message to the lead's role and using social proof to build trust.

  • Pain Point and Offer are built around a specific problem you solve, or a resource you want to share.

  • Event and Inbound are for timely situations: inviting someone to a meeting, or following up on a recent signup.

Select a framework from the dropdown and Twain will apply its structure. You can then edit it directly or save a modified version as your own.


What you can do

  • Edit intros and follow-ups directly, section by section

  • Reorder steps or rewrite them to fit your style

  • Drop in specific sentences or phrases you want Twain to include almost word-for-word

  • Pull in signals or paragraphs from campaigns you've run before

  • Save a framework to your library so you (or your team) can reuse it

No undo button. The Framework Editor doesn't have a version history or a revert option. If you overwrite something by accident, you'll need to retype it manually or regenerate the affected steps. Make a copy of your framework before making major changes, in case you need a fallback.


Verbatim text

Want a sentence or paragraph included exactly as written? Put it in quotation marks when you tell Twain what to add, e.g. "Add the following sentence at the third paragraph exactly as is: '...'" Twain inserts it unchanged.
If your verbatim text pushes a message past a length limit you've set (e.g. a 20-word cap), Twain will ask if it's okay to lift the limit for that step, rather than cutting your text down.


Saving and reusing frameworks

Any framework you save is available across campaigns in the same workspace. Build up a library of structures that work for different audiences or campaign types, and pull them in instead of starting from scratch.


Can I use a framework across workspaces?

No. Frameworks are tied to the workspace where they were created. To use one in a different workspace, you'd need to recreate it there.
