Review and Configure

When you select Section 2, you’ll have the opportunity to review and edit each step of a pre-built campaign or add steps to your custom campaign.

It is always a best practice to review each piece in a campaign, even if you think you might not want to edit it. By taking the time to review each piece when you first set up your campaign, you can be confident that the information that you are sending to your contacts is exactly the way you want it.
A step is an individual marketing email, direct mail or activity reminder that has been added to your campaign.

There are three types of campaign steps that you can use:

  • Email steps - emails that will automatically send to your contacts
  • Activity steps - reminders that will prompt you to take action or send a personal message
  • Direct Mail steps - postcards that will be mailed to your contacts

At a quick glance you’ll be able to see the number of email steps, direct mail steps, and activity steps for this campaign.

To edit the existing steps or add new steps, click anywhere on the row for Section 2.

If you are building a custom campaign, please see our help page on how to Add a Campaign Step for step-by-step instructions on how to complete this next section.

If you are using a pre-built campaign, you’ll be able to review each step, and edit if needed. Some campaigns will also allow you to add additional steps. Each campaign step will display:

  • Step number (ex. 1 of 8)
  • Step title
  • Step type (Email / Activity / Direct Mail )
  • Schedule

Email Steps

An Email step will also have an Email Subject line. This will be the subject of the email when the piece is sent. Learn how to personalize your emails by adding contact details to your subject lines.

Activity Steps

An Activity step will have a Subject as well as a Notes field.  This will appear as a “To Do” on your dashboard when this activity is due.

The Subject is so that you can quickly identify what this activity is for. For example, “Phone Call".

The Notes field allows you to enter details about the activity. You can use this to include scripts, meeting topics, or any other information that you may need for this activity.

The information in the Notes field will be included when the system issues a reminder for this activity.

Direct Mail Steps

A Direct Mail step will have the Price per Contact. This is how much it costs you to mail that particular direct mail marketing piece to a single contact that is on this campaign.  

To edit an email or direct mail piece, click the Personalize button. This will take you to the marketing design editor.

When you have saved your piece and returned to the campaign editor, you’ll see that the Personalize button now says Edit. Continue to the next piece you’d like to personalize.

After you have reviewed and edited each piece, click Save & Continue, found below the last step.

Review and Activate
