Create and send a campaign

Pick a template, choose who gets it, write the message, schedule it and approve it.

A campaign is one message sent to a group of customers. You can send by email, text, or both.

Steps

  1. Go to Marketing โ†’ ๐Ÿ“ฃ Campaigns and click New campaign.
  2. Pick a starting point. Each template pre-writes the message and audience:
    – Seasonal service (pick the service first)
    – Seasonal newsletter
    – Last few openings
    – Win-back offer
    – Referral program
    – Maintenance plan
    – Thank-you / holiday note
    – Start from scratch
  3. 1. Send by. Choose โœ‰๏ธ Email, ๐Ÿ’ฌ Text, ๐Ÿง  Text if allowed, else email or Both.
  4. 2. Who gets it. Set the filters. A live line shows “N will get it of M matching”, how many are reachable by email and text, and who is left out and why. See “Choose who gets a campaign”.
  5. 3. Message. Write a Subject and Preview text. Build the email from blocks: heading, text, button, image, offer box, review quote, divider, space. Use โ†‘ โ†“ to reorder. For texts, write the Text message. Use โœจ AI writer if you want three versions to pick from, with a tone of Friendly, Professional, Excited or Short & direct.
  6. Optional: open ๐ŸŽจ Design for this campaign. Your default design is in Marketing โ†’ Settings.
  7. 4. When. Choose Right away, At a time, Each person’s best time or Spread over days (1 to 14).
  8. Optional: ๐Ÿงช Test two versions. Version B has its own subject or text. Choose how much of your list is in the test (10 to 50%), the winner measure (Clicked a link, Replied or Opened the email), and the hours to wait before the winner goes to everyone else.
  9. Check the preview, phone or desktop. A warning lists any detail that is empty for the sample customer. Add a fallback like {customer_first_name|there}.
  10. Click Send me a test, then ๐Ÿ’พ Save draft or โœ… Approve & send.
  11. Confirm the box: “N customers ยท channel ยท when. Your frequency limit, sending hours and opt-outs still apply.”

Before your first text campaign you confirm a short checklist (“Before you text a list”).

After sending

Open a sent campaign to see Sent, Opened, Clicked, Replied, Estimates, Booked and Collected. You can Pause, Resume, Cancel the rest, Duplicate, or Remove from list. Statuses are Draft, AI draft โ€” needs your OK, Scheduled, Sending, Sent, Paused, Cancelled.

Unsubscribe

Every marketing email includes an unsubscribe link. The page offers Unsubscribe from emails or Stop all marketing (email & texts). Your signature and the footer are added automatically.

Tips

  • Start small. Send a test to yourself first.
  • Use an offer only if you mean it. Add saved offers in Settings; the AI only uses offers you wrote.

If something goes wrong

  • “Nobody in this audience can be reached yet โ€” widen the filters or pick another channel.”
  • Texts are held for a reason shown in the campaign. Common reasons: no consent, quiet hours, a daily limit.
