InBox

Prepare your first InBox email campaign

Prepare a backer update for your own audience. Set the subject, choose recipients and review the message in Sandbox before sending.

Before you start

Open Email Marketing in your Creator workspace. Start in Sandbox for a test using the PledgeBox sender domain. Use only your own test contacts. Production sending requires the relevant sender and Amazon SES setup.

  1. Set the campaign details

    Open Sandbox → Create Campaign. Enter an internal campaign name, a clear subject line, preview text and a From name. Check how the sender and subject will appear to recipients.

  2. Select and check recipients

    Choose your mailing list. Use exclusions or a saved segment where needed, then check the recipient count. For a first test, select only a list containing contacts you control.

  3. Review the message before sending

    Continue to Message Content and choose your template. In Schedule & Send, review the sender, subject, recipients and message together. Use Save as Draft while preparing. Send a test only to your own approved test list, then check delivery before a production campaign.

Check the result

The subject, sender and message are correct, and the recipients are the people you intended. A saved draft or preview does not prove delivery; check the received email after an approved test send.
