Editing your campaign

You can edit both the look of the marketing email and the contents of the message. 

Note
titleNOTE:

Once you've created your campaign or several campaigns, you may want to go back to one and edit it, either to resend or to have an edited, ready-to-go custom template for a future campaign. The list of campaigns, available from the Email Marketing Campaigns menu, is a data table and can be manipulated like all the other data tables in the RescueGroups.org account. If you need a refresher on how to use data tables, check out the Getting started with RescueGroups.org guide, and look for the chapter, How information is organized in your account.

Sending a test message

To check the way your email will be viewed by the recipients, send a test email to yourself. If you don't like it, return to the editing screens to change the campaign.

Test messages count toward your total emails. Please be sure to take this into consideration when sending test emails.
