Build the campaign in the Campaign editor

The Campaign editor allows you to build an email campaign by adding and arranging a variety of modules to your campaign. The left side shows you a live updating preview of what your email looks like. The right side helps you build the campaign, and consists of three tabs:

  • Module manager - Select the email modules to add them to the campaign
  • Module settings - Once a module is enabled, modify the content of the module in the settings.
  • Campaign settings - Manage the the subject, sender, preview text and template.

Previewing an Email Campaign

In the Campaign editor, click the Preview campaign dropdown in the top right to review the campaign before sending it: 

  • Enter preview mode - Opens a new tab where the email can be viewed in the browser.
  • Send a test email - Add your own or co-workers email addresses to send a test email. Add multiple email addresses by adding commas (without spaces) in between. The sent test email will show [TEST] in the subject line.
