Email Broadcast - FunnelKit Automations

In this section, we'll learn how to set up an email broadcast campaign.

Go to FunnelKit Automations ⇒ Broadcast and hit on “Create Email Broadcast”.

Name your email broadcasts and click Add.

In this step, you need to provide some additional information about the broadcast, like:

Type - Choose the type of email that you want to send from the Standard or A/B Test options. Choose Standard to send a single email to all the selected contacts. Go with the A/B test to split-test your broadcast email and create more than one variant of the same.
Include Unverified Contacts: Check to include unverified contacts.
Include Soft Bounce Contacts: Check to include soft bounce contacts.

Then, hit Next.

You can see all of your contacts here. If you wish to segment contacts, click on the "Apply Filters" button.

Segment your contacts by tags added to them, lists they're a part of, contact details, custom fields, and more.

You can even select segments from saved audiences.

For this example, we have selected the customers who are women.

You can hit on “ADD Condition” to add multiple conditions.

We added another condition, if they made any purchase in the last 6 months, using the condition “Last order days” in the past 180 days.

Note: To learn more details about how to apply a filter, check our documentation on filtering contacts.

Click Filter to see contacts that match your filter.

Click on Next.

Here are the details you need to add:

Your Email Details - These will be the sender's details. Type in your name, email address, and reply-to-email address
Subject - The subject line of your email (mandatory)
Preview Text - Assign a preview text that appears next to the subject line of your emails
Template Type - Select the template you want to use for your email. You can choose between Text, HTML and Visual Builder, which will open FunnelKit Automations's email editor.
Body - The main body where you can write your email content

After you have written your email, you have additional options to:

Add Unsubscribe Text - By clicking here, you can provide your contact with a link to unsubscribe to your emails.
Send Test Email - you can send test emails to yourself or any contact.
Show Preview - This option will show you the preview of your email.
UTM - You can even append UTM parameters to email links.

Now, click on Next.

In this final step, you can view a summary of your campaign so that you can review it before sending or scheduling your broadcast.

Either you can click on Broadcast Now to send your email right away, or Schedule for Later to set the time you want this email to be sent.

If you're scheduling it for later, you can select a specific date and time to send your email out.

Select “Schedule For Later” to set this email to a specific time.

Congratulations, you are all set to send your first broadcast email using FunnelKit Automations!
