Preflight Report

Once all of your recipients have been selected, navigate to the Preview and Send tab. You will see a preflight report on the right hand side, click into this to view which areas of your Campaign have passed and which areas may need improving.

Please note that the Campaign can not be sent if it has not passed the Preflight report.

This report checks through features of your Campaign such as:                 

• Recipients
• From line
• Domain
• Subject line
• Spelling
• Spam
• Plain Text
• Subscription
• External ID
• Campaign meta fields

Preflight Campaign

From here you can also view your Campaign online, we would always recommend doing this so you can see how it will look before it is sent out. To view online, click the drop down menu next to the Campaign name or click Preview Campaign (this can be done for any in progress, scheduled or sent Campaign).

Send a Test

You can send a test Campaign to up to five recipients using the Send Test Campaign button at the bottom of the page. We would always recommend to send tests before you send out a live Campaign as mail clients can add their own code into the Campaign which can skew the Campaigns original look.

You can also add a Note to Recipients (which will appear at the top of the Campaign in a shaded box) 

Once a test is sent, the Campaign will remain in your in Progress section. No reporting data is recorded for tests and you may send an unlimited number of tests. Please note that any changes made after you send a test Campaign will cause links in the Campaign to break. Be sure to send another test after you have made any changes to your Campaign to ensure the recipients receive the correct version.

Inbox Preview

Using the Inbox Preview tool, you can preview your Campaign in over 30 of the most popular email clients and mobile devices by clicking on the Inbox Preview button under Sending Options.

The fastest, most accurate selections based on your web browser and operating system will be automatically selected. Select (or deselect) desired previews and click the Run Preview button. From there, you will be taken to a third party website, Email on Acid, to view the previews (some of which are interactive).

Scheduling

You also have the ability to schedule your Campaign to be sent out at a later date, there is currently no limit on the time you can schedule a Campaign for and you also have the option to set it to repeat send with multiple parameters.

Send

Once you are happy with your Campaign and you wish to send it out immediately, select the Send Campaign Now button under Sending Options. The number in brackets beside the Send Campaign Now button is the number of recipients the Campaign will be sent to.

Now that your Campaign has been sent out, from the Reporting section you will be able to view and track your recipients journey and engagement. To learn more, please click here.
