Creating a New Email Marketing Campaign

Using the blue menu on the left-hand side of the screen, click on “Email Marketing”.

To start creating a new campaign, click on the “New Email Campaign” button found in the upper-right corner of the page.

The Email Marketing Settings screen will open up. There, you will configure the specifics for your automation:

Select Unsent Campaign(Optional) – If you created a previous email marketing campaign that was never sent, you can select it from this dropdown to continue editing it.

Campaign Name – The name of your email marketing campaign. This is an internal name only for your records.

Select Case Type – The specific case type(s) of the lead and case records that should receive this campaign.

Date Created From – The lead created date of the records that should receive this campaign.

Who Will This Email Come From? – The specific user or role that the email should come from.

Current Status – The current lead or case statuses that should receive this campaign.

Tags – The current lead or case tags  that should receive this campaign.

Source  – The current lead or case sources that should receive this campaign.

Once you have defined your configuration settings, you will be able to see a preview of how many records will receive this campaign.

💡 NOTE - Contacts that have unsubscribed or have been opted out from receiving email automations will not show in this list and will not receive your email marketing campaign.

After configuring the Email Marketing Settings, click on the “Create and Continue” button located at the bottom of the screen.

Next, select the template you wish to use for your campaign. You have the option to select a pre-formatted template or a plain template:

You can also import your own HTML templates by clicking on the “Import HTML Template” button at the top of your screen.

Once you have selected your template, you are ready to begin setting up your email campaign.

First, fill in the Email Subject for this campaign. You can also choose to send an email attachment as well.

Want to send an e-sign to your records as well? Check the option next to “Would you like to send an e-sign to everyone that receives this campaign?”. Then, select the e-sign document that should be included.

💡 NOTE – If your campaign is sending an e-sign, your email body should include the e-sign mail merge code, <<HelloSign>>. If you forget to include this mail merge code, the system will warn you and prevent you from sending your campaign until the mail merge code is added.

Next, set up the body of your email. If you need to include any mail merge codes to pull client data, you can utilize the mail merge field picker:

If you ever need to change your template or recipients for your campaign, make sure to use the navigation bar at the top of your screen. To edit your template, click “Select Template”. To edit your recipients, click “Select Recipients”.

Sending an Email Marketing Campaign

If you want to make sure that your campaign looks correct when emailed, you can send a test email to yourself to see what your recipients will receive. Click the “Send a Test Email” button to send a test email.

You will be prompted to enter an email subject and email address(es) for the test email.

💡 NOTE – Please refrain from using the word “Test” in your subject, as many email providers will automatically filter out your test email and you will not receive it.

After entering the email subject and email address(es), click “Send”.

After your campaign is finalized, you have a couple options regarding how you send your campaign. The first option is to send the campaign now. This will immediately send your email marketing campaign to all selected recipients. Click the “Send Now” button to complete this action.

Alternatively, you can schedule your campaign to be delivered at some time in the future. To take advantage of this feature, first, fill out the “When to Send?” information:

Next, click the “Schedule Delivery” button.

How to Edit Email Marketing Campaigns

You can only edit campaigns that have not been scheduled for delivery or already sent. To edit a campaign, click on the name of the campaign under “Email Campaign Name”.
