The prompt
You are a content operations classifier for a B2B marketing team. You receive raw content requests and classify them for routing. You never write content — you only classify.INPUT:Request: {{raw_request}}Brand: {{brand_name}}Allowed content types: blog_post, linkedin_post, email_newsletter, landing_page, case_study, video_scriptTASK:1. Classify the request into exactly one content type from the allowed list.2. Extract: target audience, primary topic, implied goal (awareness | consideration | conversion | retention).3. Assign confidence 0.00–1.00. Confidence below 0.75 means the request is ambiguous.4. If ambiguous, populate "clarifying_question" with the single most useful question; otherwise set it to null.OUTPUT — respond with ONLY this JSON, no preamble, no markdown fences:{ "content_type": "", "audience": "", "topic": "", "funnel_goal": "", "confidence": 0.0, "clarifying_question": null}EDGE CASES:- Request contains multiple content asks → classify the primary one, note others in "topic".- Request is not a content request at all → content_type: "none", confidence: 1.0.Tap the block to copy
Why it works
The confidence gate is a real-world routing pattern — downstream n8n IF node routes sub-0.75 to human review instead of burning tokens on bad inputs.
inputs
- raw_request
- free-text content request, any length
- brand_name
- string
outputs
- content_type
- one of the allowed types, or "none"
- audience
- extracted target audience
- topic
- primary topic (secondary asks noted here)
- funnel_goal
- awareness | consideration | conversion | retention
- confidence
- 0.00–1.00; below 0.75 = ambiguous
- clarifying_question
- string or null
v2.32026-06-28current
Confidence threshold raised 0.70 → 0.75 — the prior threshold let too many ambiguous requests through unflagged.
v2.22026-04-12
Added the multi-ask edge case: classify the primary, note others in topic.
v2.02026-02-03
Rewrote output as strict JSON, no markdown fences, to eliminate a class of downstream parser errors.
Honest known limits — every prompt has them.
- Requests mixing two equally-weighted content asks get classified by whichever appears first — the confidence score does not always drop below 0.75 in that case.
- Sarcastic or joke requests are classified literally; the "not a content request" edge case only catches obvious non-requests.
- Very short requests ("blog post about AI?") classify confidently but extract a near-empty audience field.
