Sending your first email campaign is a simple task but requires some initial setup before we can proceed. Follow the simple steps below and you'll be sending your first email campaign in no time.

Step 5. Send your email campaign

Sending your email campaign in the system is easy. Let's look at how to send a campaign straight away using the build in popup window sending system. If your administrator has setup scheduled sending you can also use that too.

To send your campaign click the "Send an Email Campaign" link under the "Email Campaigns" menu:

Sending an email campaign using the popup window method

When the page loads choose the contact list you want to send your campaign to. For this example, uncheck the "Yes, show filtering options on the next page" checkbox. That's an advanced option and isn't needed when you're just getting started. Click "Next >>" to continue.

On the next step choose the email campaign you want to send from the dropdown list and leave all pre-selected options as they are and click "Next >>". The default options of tracking links and notifying the owner by email are fine. You can change any form options if you like.

Finally, click the "Start Sending" button to send the email campaign to your contacts.

When the window closes, the email has been sent to all contacts in the contact list. Check your inbox too, because as the owner of the list you will receive a notification that the campaign has just finished sending.

Congratulations, you've just created and sent your first email campaign!
