Before creating your first campaign on ColdCampaigns we recommend you:
In case you haven't done it yet, you can set these up during the first campaign creation.
Step 1: Create your first campaign
Go to https://app.coldcampaigns.com/campaigns and click on "Create your first campaign"
Step 2: Basic setup of your campaign
When creating a campaign you need to do these 3 things first:
- name your campaign. This will help you identify your campaign. Your recipients will not see this
- Select (or set up) your email sending account. Your campaign will be sent from this email address.
- Select (or create) the email list you would like to send your campaign to.
Step 3: Compose your first email
Each email must contain a subject and a body (the content of your email).
You can see here any available variables from your selected email list that you can insert into your email as a variable. For example our list in the screenshot has 3 variables / labels: email, first name and age.
To inset a variable it must be placed into your email as listed above. Eg:
- to insert the first name enter this: {first_name}
If you would like to setup a follow up email if your recipient doesn't reply please click on the "Add reply" button.
Step 4: Set up follow up emails
You can compose a follow up email just the same as we explained above. There are 2 more setting for the follow ups.
- You can enter how many days to wait before we send a follow up after the previous email has been sent.
- Select when to send this email. Selecting "until it receives a reply" means this follow up email will be only sent if the recipient didn't reply the previous email(s) in this campaign.
You can add further follow ups.
Step 5: campaign preferences
Finally you can change some preferences.
- You can select when to run your campaign. You can chose what days from what time until when to run.
- You can also change the timezone.
- Select "Track email opens" if you would like us to track if a recipient opens an email you sent.
- Select "Add 'Unsubscribe' option" if you would like to add an unsubscribe link to the end of your email.
All Set - Your campaign is ready to go
Congratulations, you have created your first campaign with ColdCampaigns.
