7 simple steps to set up your account and send your first mailing

1. Gather your list of contacts

You might need to export email addresses and contact data from your email program or previous ESP. For more information about moving contacts from your previous ESP to your new email marketing account, please refer to this article.

2. Create groups and contact fields

Create groups, subscriptions, and fields to organized and store contact information.

3. Import your list

Import a list of email addresses or add one contact at a time.

4. Get your signup form in order

Set yourself up to get new email subscribers on your website, blog, social pages, and more.

5. Set up authentication

As of February 2024, domain authentication is more strictly enforced by Google and Yahoo. To avoid potential deliverability issues, DKIM and DMARC authentication must be set up for your sender email address domain before you send any campaigns. For more information about authentication, please refer to this article.

6. Select an email template and create your first mailing

We offer three different types of templates and all of our readymade templates are mobile-optimized, responsive, and come with preset styles for text, links, images, captions, and buttons that you can customize using our drag and drop editor.

This article covers all the ways you can use the drag and drop editor to build your layout, add content, and send.

7. Review your responses

Once you’ve sent a campaign, be sure to check out your Response page to see your delivery, open, and click rates.
