Accessing the Campaigns Page:

  1. Log in to your BcloudMail account at https://app.bcloudmail.com/login.
  2. In the main navigation menu, click on Campaigns.

Overview of the Campaigns Page:

Upon navigating to the Campaigns page, you’ll typically see two main sections:

1. Draft Campaigns:

This section lists the email campaigns that you have created but have not yet sent.

  • Creating a New Campaign: Look for a “Create New Campaign” or similar button. Clicking this will typically take you to a campaign creation wizard or form where you’ll need to provide the following information:
    • Campaign Name: A descriptive name for your campaign (for your internal use).
    • Email Subject: The subject line that your recipients will see in their inboxes.
    • From Name: The name that will appear as the sender of the email (this is often automatically generated based on your account settings).
    • From Email: The email address that will appear as the sender (this is also often automatically generated).
    • Template: The email template you want to use for this campaign. You can select from your existing templates or create a new one.
  • Testing Campaigns: Before sending a campaign to your entire subscriber list, you can send a test email to an administrator’s email address to ensure that the email renders correctly and contains no errors. Look for a “Send Test Email” or similar option.

2. Sent Campaigns:

This section lists all the email campaigns that you have already sent.

  • Campaign List: The sent campaigns are displayed in a table with the following columns, providing key metrics for each campaign:

    • Name: The name of the campaign.
    • Sent: The total number of emails sent for this campaign.

    • Actions: A set of actions you can perform on the campaign, such as:
      • Duplicate: Create a copy of the campaign. This is useful for re-sending a successful campaign or for using it as a template for a new one.
