Campaign Modernization

We've modernized the campaign creation process in Iterable! With a new interface that lets you configure a campaign in whatever order you like, creating campaigns is more flexible and efficient than ever. Don't worry, though — we haven't changed any core campaign functionality.

This article provides an overview of the updated campaign creation experience.

# Creating a campaign

To create a campaign: navigate to Messaging > Campaigns, click the New Campaign button, and select a message medium:

Then, name your campaign, add labels, and select Blast or API-Triggered:

# Adding labels

# Configuring the campaign's design

To add content to a campaign, click Browse Templates and select a template (or, if you're looking at a campaign that already has a template selected, click Edit).

Then, you can edit the campaign's content, preview it, and send proofs to yourself or others.

# Sending or scheduling a campaign

After configuring a campaign, click Review. If everything looks right, you can send or schedule it (blast campaigns), or activate it (API-triggered campaigns).

When scheduling a campaign, you can configure:

• The start date and time.
• Whether to base its send time on the project time zone or the recipient's time zone.
• A schedule for repeated sends, if needed.
• And end date for the campaign.
• Days on which to send (for some repeat options).
• How far ahead of time to create the campaign before it sends.
