Activate your Campaign

Now you have everything set up, let's get this campaign going!

That's it - if you've followed all of the steps in Getting Started then your campaign is all set up and ready to go - all that's left is to activate the campaign and start sending!

If you want the campaign to start sending today, then great - let’s get the ball rolling! Or if you prefer to start in a couple of days' time, no worries - you’ll just need to complete the final step below on the day you want to start.

You always need to manually activate a campaign on the day you want it to start sending. This is just in case you set up a campaign with a future start date and don’t complete the set-up by this date, don’t worry, the campaign will not automatically start.

Let's get this campaign started...

• Already in the campaign view as you've just set everything up? See the steps below for Activating from Campaign view.

• Coming back at a later time? Click Activating from Campaign Manager for steps to activate at a later date.

Activating from Campaign view

1. Click the green Play button in the top right of your screen:
