Create Campaign

To create a campaign, you must specify the email header information and select the recipient groups for the campaign. All messages sent from this campaign will use the same header information and recipient groups. The Create Campaign screen is where you initiate the campaign creation and specify the following email heading options for the campaign.

  1. Set up the campaign:

  2. Campaign Name - This is the display name for your campaign. This name will not be displayed to the email recipients.

  3. From Name - This is the name that will display to the email recipient, it is important that this name is one that the email recipients will recognize, so that they are more likely to open and read your message.

  4. Do Not Send Me Any Replies - If this box is checked, replies to campaign messages will not be delivered. If this box is unchecked, replies to campaign messages will be delivered to the Email Address listed in your Account Profile.

  5. I Certify This Is Not Spam - Check this box to indicate that this campaign will not be used to send unsolicited email messages. This is an extension of the service contract signed when you purchased the system, and the campaign cannot be created until you check this box. Click on the Spam hyperlink for the full service contract information.

  1. Specify the recipients by moving the groups you wish to receive the message from the Available Groups list to the Recipient Group list, by highlighting the group and clicking the >> button. You can select multiple groups at once by holding down the CTRL key as you click each group name with the mouse.

  2. Available Groups - This list box displays the groups that will NOT receive messages that are sent for this campaign.

  3. Recipient Group - This list box displays the groups that will receive messages that are sent for this campaign.

  4. - Use this Add button to move the selected group from the Recipient Group list to the Available Group list.

  5. - Use this Remove button to move the selected group from the Available Group list to the Recipient Group list.

NOTE: If the message schedule is set up to send to people when they sign up, only new members of the Recipient Groups will be sent the message. If you want the message to go to all new subscribers, select All for the Recipient Group.

  1. Click the Next button to save the information and open the Schedule Message screen, which is the first step for adding a message to the campaign.
