Initiate Check Screen

The Initiate Check Screen is designed to help you get the best from your campaigns, helping to spot any common mistakes that may affect the success of your email. This check screen is broken down into 5 sections:

  • Check Campaign
  • Post Campaign Tracking
  • Campaign Audience
  • Check Email(s)
  • Initiate Campaign

Note: Some checks that are shown are notes or warnings. You will still be able to send your campaign even if these warnings appear. However, some are 'stop' errors, and must be resolved before the campaign can be initiated.

4. Campaign Audience

4. Campaign Audience

This is the fourth set of checks that you will need to review.

The audience in a campaign determines who will receive the email. This check screen will identify which gator group you have attached to the campaign and how many contacts are included in the group.

Note: You also have the ability to recount the audience to make sure that the contact count is correct. We would recommend this as a quick check to make sure the right group is attached.
