Once you have created a message and added at least one contact to your mailing list, you are ready to send your campaign. Here's how:
- Navigate to the Messages tab
- Select the message that you want to send
- Click Send Campaign in the toolbar. A window with campaign delivery options will appear.
- Select all the lists and/or groups that you want to send your campaign to. As you select or deselect lists, the Recipients label updates to show the total number of recipients that your campaign will be sent to. For details, click the i button.
- Use the Schedule popup menu to choose when your campaign will be delivered. See this help article for more information about scheduling.
- If desired, enable open and click tracking and/or Google Analytics tagging
- Click Send
After you click Send, Direct Mail analyzes your message and mailing list. If it finds issues that could affect delivery of your campaign, they are displayed in a list. Issues in yellow should be resolved before sending. Issues in red must be resolved before sending.
If no issues are found, or if you choose to ignore the issues, Direct Mail proceeds to enqueue your campaign for delivery. If you chose to send the campaign immediately, delivery should begin in a few seconds.
To monitor the status of your campaign, navigate to the Reports tab and select your campaign.
