This guide walks you through everything needed to send your first campaign — from connecting a mailbox to enrolling contacts and going live.

Prerequisites

  • A registered account with an active plan (or trial).
  • At least one email account you want to send from (Gmail, Outlook, or custom SMTP).
  • A list of contacts to reach out to (or add them manually).

Step-by-Step

  1. 1

    Connect a mailbox: Go to Mailboxes → Connect Mailbox. Choose your provider and authenticate via OAuth or App Password.

  2. 2

    Add contacts: Go to Contacts → Add Contact (or Import CSV for bulk upload). Enter email, name, and company details.

  3. 3

    Create a cadence: Go to Cadences → New Cadence. Add a Start node, then an Email node. Write your subject and body using the editor. You can use variables like {{contact.firstName}} for personalization.

  4. 4

    Publish the cadence: Click 'Publish' to lock in the current version. This creates an immutable snapshot that campaigns reference.

  5. 5

    Create a campaign: Go to Campaigns → New Campaign. Name it, select your cadence, choose contacts, pick your sender mailbox, and configure tracking options.

  6. 6

    Launch: Click 'Start Campaign'. The system creates a workflow for each enrolled contact and begins sending according to your cadence schedule.

Pro Tip

Pro tip: Use the 'Save as Draft' option at any step of the campaign wizard. You can come back and complete setup later without losing progress.
