Step-by-Step: Create a Campaign

  • Go to the Campaigns Tab
    From your Dashboard, click Campaigns in the top navigation bar.

  • Click "+ Create campaign"

  • Set Campaign Details

    • Campaign Name – Internal use only

    • Owner – The campaign will be managed by the selected owner.

      • 📥 Candidate replies will go to the owner’s email inbox (e.g. Gmail or Outlook).

      • 🔎 If replies aren’t showing up, check the Spam folder.

    • From - This is an email signature and can be different from the Owner.

  • Choose a Cohort
    Select one or more Cohorts you want to target with this campaign.

  • Add Email(s) to the Campaign

  • Choose when to send your email by selecting Time Delay:

    • Ex: “Send 10 days after candidate is Saved”

  • If you add more emails to create a sequence, time delays are relative to the last email in the sequence.

    • 💡 Example:
      Email 1 = 10 days after candidate is added to the Cohort
      Email 2 = 60 days after Email 1 (sent on day 70)

    • A template is required to save your email

    • Then click ‘Save Email
