How to Create an Email Campaign

On TIEIT, you can create email campaigns to stay connected with your customers through monthly newsletters, promotional emails and more. You can also save the layout you create for future use. To learn how to create an email campaign, please follow the steps below or watch the video.

1. Click the Campaigns module on the left menu. Click the green + Campaign button. Enter the name of your email campaign.

Click the get started button.

2. Drag and drop the email blocks you want to include in your email campaign.

You can also select a premade template under the Template Gallery tab or if you have saved a past layout, select the layout under the User Template tab.

3. Edit the text included in the blocks. If you have added a photo block, you can edit the photo by clicking on the photo block and clicking the replace photo icon that appears. There is also a formatting toolbar at the top.

There is a formatting toolbar at the top you can use to modify your text and add additional email items to your campaign.

The first area highlighted in the image above is where you can modify the format of your text. The second area highlighted in the image above is where you can add additional items to your emails such as images, tables, buttons, links and merge tags.

You can use merge tags to populate data entered on TIEIT for a contact in the email. In the example below, we have added the first name merge tab and a fallback text "Hi there" in case a contact on TIEIT has no first name recorded.

You can also modify the email that appears at the bottom of the email. By default, the email campaign's creator will have their email listed here. To change this, click the edit button on the top right and then click the end of the email. An edit area will appear.

Under the URL section, add the new email next to the "mailto:" text. Change the area under the Text section as well. Click the Update button.

4. Once you are done editing, you can send a test email or save the newsletter into your saved themes to save the layout for future use. These buttons are located at the bottom of the email editing page.

When you are done editing, click the save and continue button.

5. Edit the subject line and email addresses related to the email. Click the save and continue button when done.

6. Select the lists, groups or contacts you would like to send the email campaign to. Click the save and continue button.

7. To send your email you can click define delivery button or return to the Campaigns page. To the right of the campaign you created, click the icon with the 3 circles. Click the schedule icon.

8. Schedule your email campaign. Click the save button when done.
