Note: Campaigns by Pipedrive is available as a paid add-on.

Campaign details

To begin creating your campaign, go to Campaigns > Email campaigns and select "+ Campaign". This will open up your campaign page.

Campaign creation

After adding a title for your campaign, choose the recipients for your email campaign. You can select a list of contacts by owner or by filter. You will have the option to select a filter that you have created for your email campaign or the option to add a new filter. Learn more about filtering for your campaigns in this section.

Note: If you create a private filter, other users will not be able to use it for Campaigns and send out email campaigns with it. Only contacts that have their marketing status set as "Subscribed" will be included in your campaign. You can learn more about marketing contacts in this article.

Under "From" you can choose the sender email you would like the campaign to be sent out from. The sender email will be one of the verified ones you set up in settings, but you can change the sender name and reply-to address. You can also add new sender names directly from this page.

Next, you have the option to add your email campaign subject and preview text. Please be aware that the subject field is required.

Note: Merge tags don’t function when sending test emails, as there is no contact data to draw from. Merge tags can have up to 255 characters.

To add a merge field, click the “Merge tags” dropdown and select your desired tag.

Note: View tool tips by clicking the circled "i" next to the Subject and Preview text.

Content

In the Content section you have three options:

  • Design your email – Design your email campaign layout using our drag-and-drop editor.
  • Pick a template – Choose your email campaign layout from a selection of pre-designed templates created by you.
  • Upload HTML – Select this option if you would like to create your campaign layout using HTML or copy-paste your existing email from another tool.
