Once your email content is successfully generated, you can make any necessary changes and save it as a draft for later use. If you’re ready to launch, publish the content to prepare it for your email campaigns.
To create a campaign directly on content, click on the Create Campaign button located at the top right corner of the screen. From there, you can select the type of campaign you wish to create: One-Time or Recurring.
In this section, you’ll provide essential details for your email campaign:
After filling out your campaign info, the next step is to choose your target audience in the Select Audience section. You can define who will receive your Email campaign by selecting from various audience options:
Here, you can select your audience from various available tables in the system. Two tables, master_contact and master_device, are pinned for easy access as they contain critical audience data:
While these two tables are pinned for quick selection, you can also choose other tables based on your needs.
To filter your target audience within any table, click on the "Manage Filters" button. This filtering tool allows you to refine your audience by:
This functionality enables precise targeting based on your specific filter conditions.
In the Exclude section, you can define which audience groups should be excluded from receiving your email campaign. This ensures that certain contacts won’t receive the message. The available options are:
In the Control Group section for your email campaign, you can set aside a portion of your audience to exclude from receiving the email. This group is used for later evaluation, helping you measure the effectiveness of the campaign.
This random selection ensures that the control group represents a balanced cross-section of your audience, providing reliable data for later analysis. By comparing the control group (who did not receive the email) with those who did, you can better evaluate the campaign’s overall impact.
It's important to note that this feature is specific to one-time campaigns only and cannot be used for recurring campaigns.
The Skip Permission option allows you to bypass the usual permission checks for this email campaign. When enabled, emails will be sent to all selected contacts, regardless of whether they have explicitly opted in to receive emails.
If this option is selected, the system will not verify whether contacts have opted in to your email list. Emails will be delivered to all contacts in the target audience, including those who have not provided explicit consent.
Important Note:Sending emails to contacts without explicit permission can increase the likelihood of spam complaints, which may negatively affect your email deliverability. It’s recommended to use this option with caution.
In the Contact Extension section, you can choose how the system will handle contact data when sending the email campaign. There are two options:
In the Optional Settings section, you can customize how the email campaign will be sent to your audience. There are two key options available:

Here, you can change your email content if needed before proceeding.
In this section, you can visually preview how your email will appear without sending any test messages. At the top-right, there's a "Detailed Preview" button. Clicking this will open admin panel where you can see how your email looks on various clients, including:
This ensures you can check the layout and design across multiple devices and email clients.

This allows for flexibility in timing your email delivery, either immediately or at a future date.
In the Scheduling Options section for a recurring campaign, you can choose how to initiate your campaign with the following options:

This campaign can be triggered from automation by using the "Fire Campaign" action.
In the Tracking Options section, you can manage the amount of data collected for your email campaign's performance.
Open Tracking: This option tells you if your recipients open the emails you send. If enabled, your email report will show which contacts opened your email. Disabling open tracking prevents the generation of open reports for this send.
Click Tracking: Click tracking allows you to see if contacts have clicked links in your campaign. When enabled, your campaign report will display which contacts clicked your links. Disabling click tracking prevents the generation of click reports for this send.
In the Hourly Capping section, you can control the speed at which emails are sent. Options include Max Speed or specific rates like 1,000 emails/hour or 30,000,000 emails/hour. The system will adjust the number of messages sent per hour based on the selected capping value.
In the IP Pool Name section, you can select from a dropdown menu. This allows you to choose the IP pool through which your email campaign will be sent, ensuring proper management of email delivery.
In the Conversion Tracking section, there are two toggle options:
Important Note:Make sure that the target audience doesn't include people from the conversion goal segment. Contacts who are already included in the goal segment will be considered as converted right away, thus resulting in inconsistencies in reporting.
You will also need to set a Conversion Deadline, which determines how long after the email is delivered that conversions will be tracked. For example, if you set the deadline to "3 days," any conversions that occur within 3 days of the email being delivered to a contact will be counted.\
In this section, you can define conditions under which contacts will be dropped from the email campaign. There are three ways to set up drop conditions: Segments, SQL and Drop Audience When Not in the Starting Audience Anymore.
1. Segments
If you choose Segments, you will be able to set up filters based on specific criteria. To configure the drop conditions:
2. SQL
Alternatively, you can configure drop conditions using SQL. To do this, you need to Select a Variable from the available options:
These variables help you create more advanced conditions using SQL queries to target specific contacts to drop from the campaign.
3. OR Drop Audience When Not in the Starting Audience Anymore: Enabling this option means that contacts will be dropped from the campaign if they no longer belong to the starting audience. Keep in mind that this may result in a longer sending preparation time, as the system will need to continuously check the audience status before sending.
In the Google Analytics section, you can enhance your campaign insights by enabling tracking for each campaign flow.
Enable Google Analytics:Toggle the switch to activate Google Analytics tracking for your campaign.
