Step-by-step guide
Go to Marketing → Emails
Navigate to Marketing → Emails in your sub-account. Click + New Campaign.
Name your campaign
Give your campaign a descriptive internal name (e.g. 'May Newsletter' or 'Black Friday Promotion').
Choose your template or build from scratch
Select from GHL's email templates or start with a blank canvas. Use the drag-and-drop builder to add sections, images, buttons, and text.
Write your subject line and preview text
Your subject line determines open rates. Keep it under 50 characters, be specific, and create curiosity or urgency. The preview text shows in the inbox below the subject.
Select your audience
Choose who receives this campaign: all contacts, a specific smart list, a tag-based segment, or a custom filter.
Send a test email
Always send a test email to yourself before broadcasting. Check it on both desktop and mobile, verify all links work, and check it doesn't trigger spam filters.
Schedule or send immediately
Choose to send now or schedule for a specific date and time. For best open rates, test sending on Tuesday-Thursday between 9am-11am in your audience's timezone.
