‘Build Your Email’ is the first step to creating a HTML email campaign. Here you will ‘build’ what your campaign will look like and enter content.
Creating a campaign is a 5 step process:
1) New Email
Click on the blue ‘New Email’ button, located in the left hand corner above the email campaign list.
2) Set-up
Fill out the required details of this step:
- Give the campaign a unique name
- Select the project ‘Owner’ by linking the campaign to an existing Project in Publisher
- Click ‘Next’ to save your name and move to the next step
3) Choose Template
- Choose a template that you think will best hold the content you are planning for the campaign.
- Click ‘Next’ to save your selection
4) Fill Content
- Add you content to the text boxes provided, being sure to remove the sample text.
Inserting Images
To insert images, click the 'Choose Image' box on the left hand side of the photo box. A box will then open up for you to select the Project folder where the image is located. To refine your search even further, enter keyword/s into the 'Text Search' box and click the blue magnifyiing button to commence.
Alternatively, to expand your image search to all Projects, don't select a Project, just insert keywords into the 'Text Search' box. Publisher will then search all project folders for images that match the keywords.
*Images will have had to have been uploaded into Files prior to creating the campaign.
5) Save
Above your email template there will be three blue boxes - Save, Save & Finish, Save & Send.
- Save - Click whenever you would like to ensure your changes will be saved.
- Save & Finish - Will save your email and direct you back to the list of saved campaigns.
- Save & Send - Will save your email and direct you to the Send stage of email campaigns, where you will select your recipients and schedule a send time and date.
Once you have hit 'Save & Send' you will be directed to 'Schedule Campaign'
