What are Publications?

Publications provide the highly automated distribution of content with minimal effort. Administrators can streamline campaign creation by publishing content to be sent automatically or to be sent by users.

An email campaign series is centrally created and managed, then published to users for distribution to their contacts. Publishers can choose to have campaigns sent automatically on a specific date, or to establish an expiration date before which users must send or schedule the campaigns before they are automatically deleted.

Users can enable publications in their account that have been shared with them. Any issues then created by the publisher will be placed in their In Progress tabs as campaigns to be sent using their own profile details. Users will receive notification emails when issues are published and can choose to modify content or recipients.

Publishers will have access to roll up reports for high level analysis of all campaigns sent as a part of an issue.
