Use the Full Email Editor
What is the Full Email Editor?
Want to see this? Watch the Sending Email Campaigns
video tutorial.
The Full Email Editor creates many types of emails. The Email Campaign wizard guides you
through the three steps:
• Step 1: Choose an email template
for the email design or choose to start from a blank
email design.
• Step 2: Create the email design
by customizing the template (or blank email design) for
your message, such as adding text (such as a description of a promotion, product, or
service) or links (such as to your company website)
The Full Email Editor provides a design editor for HTML emails and a design editor for
plain text emails.
• Step 3: Define email details
, such as the name of the email campaign, its addressing
information, and reply-to options.
Don't forget to preview and test
the email as you work on it.
With one exception, the Email Campaign wizard saves your work if you quit it before
completing all three steps. You only need to explicitly save your work during Step 2. Because
you may experiment with different design features, the wizard doesn't automatically save your
work.
Although you don't need to do any advance preparation before using the Full Email Editor,
doing so may help you work more efficiently. For information, see Prepare to Use
Campaigner

Create Emails
Start the Full Email Editor
You create an email using the Full Email Editor by starting a new email campaign.
For convenience, you can start the Full Email Editor from several locations in Campaigner.
Because the Dashboard is displayed each time you log in to Campaigner, you may find it
most convenient to start from this location.
When you start the Full Email Editor, you go to Step 1 of the Email Campaign wizard, where
you choose an email template for your email design. If you are new to Campaigner, we
recommend that you follow the steps of this wizard in order. If you have experience using the
Full Email Editor, you may choose to go directly to the Plain Text Email editor or start from
scratch in the HTML Email editor by pasting in your own HTML. Using these options, you skip
Step 1 of the Email Campaign wizard. If you have a complete HTML file and don't need to
use the editors at all, you can choose to upload your HTML file
and go directly to Step 3 of
the Email Campaign wizard.
