The final step in your email campaign is to send the email by:
- specifying your sender from and reply-to email addresses senderemail
- choosing the recipients recip
- selecting to schedule a time and date for the mailing (or to send it immediately) and managing the mailing queue mpq (view here deletem to delete an email from the mailing queue).
...
Every email marketing campaign should have a meaningful sender name and sender email (i.e. the from email)
In addition to editing your sender email address, you can now edit the Reply-to email address conveniently when setting up your email campaign, without having to edit it in the List settings section.
| Tip |
|---|
Your from email must be an email address that is easily recognizable and viewed as trustworthy by your recipients. If the email is new you have to verify it and click on Verify now so that you receive a link to click for confirmation. |
| Tip |
|---|
Your reply-to email (i.e. the email that your recipients can write back to by clicking on reply) should be recognizable and friendly, as opposed to a no-reply@mycompany.com address. The purpose of having a friendly reply-to email is to encourage your recipients to contact you. Email is about communicating with your customers, not telling them "not to reply" to you. In addition, the reply action is counted by ISPs (e.g. Gmail, AOL, etc.) as a clear indication of your recipients' engagement, which means that it positively affects your deliverability. |
Using a dynamic sender
Check the Select sender from recipient data fields to take advantage of Dynamic Sender, an advanced feature that allows you to assign which from email addresses will be sent to which recipient in your mailing.
When using this feature, the sender name and email are retrieved dynamically from the corresponding recipient fields that store that information. Of course, this assumes that you have previously imported the relevant information into those fields. In other words, the recipients database must contain two custom fields that are used for the sender name and sender email. To create these customized recipient fields, go to Settings > Account Settings > Recipient Fields. Add the field name of the additional "sender," and, in the corresponding field value, insert the sender's email.

The Deliverability Checkup system will warn you in case the configured sender has issues. If so, go to Settings > Account settings > Deliverability checkup for more details on how to improve your email's deliverability.

In the final step, the system will queue your recipients, displayed with a progress bar.
Once queueing is completed, you have 3 choices:
- Send now
- Schedule for later
- Put in standby
Let's see in detail how each works.
Send now
Hitting "Send now", the mailing will start immediately and join the other mailings that are being sent out by the platform. No other action is needed by the user, who will be redirected to Send Status page.The mailing will appear in "Sending now" area of Send status, with a blinking "starting up" under "Start date", to put in evidence that the system is preparing to send out the message. This is a technical time needed for preliminary operations. These operations can last up to one minute: once finished, messages will start to go out.
Schedule for later
By activating the message schedule, you can decide whether to send at a specific date and time or whether to send the message in sequential mode. The submit button will change to "Schedule"
- Send at a specific date and time
By choosing this option, the sending will start at a specific date and time, at the same time as the other sendings in progress at that time. The sending will first appear in the "Scheduled sendings" area and will be moved to the "Sendings in progress" area at the indicated date and time. - Send sequentially
It is also possible to send campaigns sequentially (one after the other). This can be useful if you don't want to send campaigns in parallel. Sequentially scheduled shipments will be sent one after the other and you can move them in order of priority within their queue, on the Delivery Status page . The system warns, at the time of planning, if there are other sequential sendings already in progress.
| Info |
|---|
| Please note that these "sequential" mailings will still be sent at the same time as the "immediate" mailings (those started by clicking on "Send immediately" and/or those scheduled for the date and time in which the sequential mailing starts) and other mailings that must be sent as soon as possible (automatic messages, messages via SMTP+, A/B tests etc.). The sequential submission at the top of the "sequential queue" will appear in the "Submissions in progress" area, along with the other submissions in progress at that time. The rest of the queue of sequential submissions will be displayed, in order of submission, in the "Scheduled Submissions" area. You can change the sending order of these sequential mailings by clicking the "Actions" button. |
Decide later
By clicking on "Decide later", the message will be "parked" in the "Sends to schedule" area. These mailings will require a subsequent action in order to be sent (immediately or on a schedule).
Best Opening Range
The Best Opening Range suggests week- day and time slot with the best opening rates, calculated on the statistical data of the last 12 months considering the behavior of your list subscribers. You will be able to plan the sending of the campaign more effectively
by considering the habits of the recipients and taking into account the estimated sending-duration for the queued message.
