Building a campaign

Create a campaign, add content blocks, and send it to a list.

A campaign is a one-time email sent to a single list, built from a small set of content blocks.

Steps

  1. Go to Newsletter → Campaigns and click New campaign.
  2. Fill in:
    • Campaign name — internal only, not shown to recipients.
    • Subject line — what recipients see in their inbox.
    • Send to list — pick from your existing lists.
  3. Click Create. You land on the campaign editor, status DRAFT.
  4. Click Add block to build the content — see block types below.
  5. Click Save.
  6. When ready, click Send and confirm.

Block types

TypeFields
textRaw HTML, rendered as-is in the email
imageImage URL, optional alt text
buttonURL, label
dividerNo fields — a visual break

Blocks can be reordered (up/down controls on each block) and removed individually.

The text block takes raw HTML directly, not a rich-text/WYSIWYG editor — you're writing markup by hand. There's no visual editor for it yet.

Sending

Clicking Send requires confirmation, and once a campaign leaves DRAFT status (moving to SENDING and then SENT), its name, subject, list, and content all lock — the editor fields become read-only. If you need to send similar content again, create a new campaign rather than trying to edit a sent one.

After sending, see Campaign analytics for delivery and engagement numbers.

Deleting a campaign

Only a DRAFT campaign can be deleted (from the campaigns list, or the campaign's own Danger Zone) — once it's sent, it stays as a record.
