Create and send a campaign
Pick a template, choose who gets it, write the message, schedule it and approve it.
On this page
A campaign is one message sent to a group of customers. You can send by email, text, or both.
Steps
- Go to Marketing โ ๐ฃ Campaigns and click New campaign.
- 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 - 1. Send by. Choose โ๏ธ Email, ๐ฌ Text, ๐ง Text if allowed, else email or Both.
- 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”.
- 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 โจ AI writer if you want three versions to pick from, with a tone of Friendly, Professional, Excited or Short & direct.
- Optional: open ๐จ Design for this campaign. Your default design is in Marketing โ Settings.
- 4. When. Choose Right away, At a time, Each person’s best time or Spread over days (1 to 14).
- Optional: ๐งช 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.
- 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}. - Click Send me a test, then ๐พ Save draft or โ Approve & send.
- 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.
