You can start by clicking the Start Designing button from your Draft Summary window.

Editing Email Details
Aside from having a great design for an email campaign, having a great subject line that your audience will surely click open and read your email – is the key. Click the Edit Details button.
 |
- Campaign Subject – Your campaign subject should be compelling to trigger your audience to click and read your email.
- Sender Details – Enter what name you want to appear as a sender for your email campaign. Then, select which email you want the email campaign to be sent from by clicking the From Email drop-down option.
- Reply Details – select which email you want your audience can reply to.
 |
Once done, click Save Details.
If you have more than one email address, you can click on the Manage Email Addresses button enter your valid email address and click Add New Email.
Choosing Your Audience
After setting up your email details, you’re one step closer to sending that email campaign. Choose the right audience for the right message or you can send it to all of your contacts.
 |
Click on the corresponding options to choose whom you’re going to send the email campaign to. Then, click Select Recipients.
At this point, you have the option to send the email campaign right away or save it as a draft.
But we recommend not skipping the next step, ensuring your email campaign design down to the content is all good so as not to harm your branding for your business/services.
Preview & Test
This step isn’t required all the time but is very helpful.
This option gives you a preview of how the email campaign will look like in their inbox. This helps check any grammatical errors or typos. Also, making sure that your design is consistent including fonts and colour, and if there are any links in your email, you can test it out that it works before sending it out to your audience. You don’t want a bad review just because you missed checking on this tiny detail.
You can send a test email to your test email list, and a preview of the subject line of your email.
Click the Send Test button to show the drop-down options, select the test email recipients for the preview and click Send Test.

Schedule
If you’re satisfied with everything in your email campaign, you can confidently send it to your targeted audience by clicking Schedule & Send.
You can opt to send it right away by selecting the option Right Now or schedule it to a specific day and time by choosing Specific Day & Time option. Then, click Schedule & Send.
