Step-by-step
- Click on New Broadcast
- Enter your email subject line and compose the body text

- Click the plus sign on a new line to insert an image or button
- Select the image and use the right-hand sidebar to adjust size and alignment
- Highlight text or an image and click the link icon to add a URL
- Select Tag subscribers who click this link to assign a tag to engaged users
- Click Continue and choose your sender email and subscriber filters
- Select Send Broadcast to queue the email for delivery
Options
- Publish the broadcast to the web instead of sending as an email
- Filter recipients by specific tags
- Add buttons, recommendations, or products via the plus sign menu
- Apply a background color to specific text blocks
Watch out for
- You cannot filter by a new tag until subscribers have actually clicked the link to trigger that tag assignment
Tips
- Use personalization tags like 'First Name' to make the email feel more direct
- Left-align images if they appear too large in the default view
- Use link triggers to tag subscribers so you can send targeted follow-up emails to only those who showed interest
