πŸ›  Setting Up a Campaign

Follow these steps to create and launch a successful campaign:

Step 1: Creating a Campaign

Step 2: Defining the Target Audience

βœ… Select or upload a list of leads.

βœ… Verify all email addresses before sending to reduce bounce rates.

βœ… Use email verification tools to ensure accuracy (Check the Help Center for details).

βœ… Create multiple variations of subject lines and email content.

βœ… The system automatically distributes emails evenly across versions.

βœ… Example A/B Test:

  • 50% of recipients receive Email A.

πŸ’‘ Tip: Personalization increases response ratesβ€”customize emails with AI assistance for better engagement!

πŸ”Ή Enabling AI-Driven Replies
