Send campaigns
A campaign sends one email template to many people, like your Diwali sale email to all your VIP customers. You pick the sender, the template and who gets it, check a summary, then send. Afterwards you see who opened and clicked.
Before you start
You need:
- A verified sender domain. See Connect your sender domain.
- At least one template. See Build email templates.
- People to send to in your email audience.
If the first two are missing, New campaign tells you and shows a button to fix it.
Add your email audience
Your email audience is separate from your WhatsApp contacts. To open it, go to the Email Dashboard (Settings, then Email Dashboard) and click Audience under Quick actions.

- Click Add contacts to paste email addresses, or to import a CSV file. The CSV needs a column named
email. Other columns are saved on each contact, so you can use them as variables in templates. - Open the Segments tab to create groups, like "VIP customers", so each campaign reaches the right people.
- Status shows who is Subscribed, Unsubscribed or Bounced. Unsubscribed and bounced people are skipped when a campaign sends.

Send the campaign
Click Send now
A draft campaign says Nothing has gone out yet. Check the number of Recipients, then click Send now at the top right.
Confirm
The campaign shows Sending, and the numbers update every few seconds. You can leave the page and come back later.
Start with a small group
For your first campaign, send to a small segment, even just yourself, and check the email looks right in your inbox.
Scheduled campaigns
A scheduled campaign shows Scheduled in your list and goes out by itself at the time you picked, usually within a minute. It then shows Sending, and Completed when every email is out. To send it earlier, open it and click Send now. If your plan no longer includes email marketing at that time, or the campaign has nobody to send to, it shows Failed instead.
Stop or cancel a campaign
- While it is sending, click Stop sending. Emails already sent cannot be recalled. People still waiting in the queue do not get it.
- For a draft or scheduled campaign, click Cancel campaign.
Read the report
Open a campaign from the Email campaigns list.

Click Download report for a file with one row per person: their status, any error, and the cost.
If more than 5 in 100 emails bounce, the page shows High bounce rate. Bounces hurt your sender name, so clean your list before the next campaign.
What it costs
The first 100 emails each day are free. After that, each campaign email is charged at your marketing rate, which you can see at the bottom of the Email Dashboard. See About email marketing.
Tips
- Subject under 50 characters, so it fits on a phone.
- Use
{{first_name}}in the subject and greeting. - Do not send too often. Once a week is plenty for most shops.
- Send only to people who agreed to get your emails.
