Newsletter campaigns serve as robust tools to uphold efficient communication with your clients in Pabau. They provide various advantages, such as precise outreach, valuable insights derived from statistics, and the capability to maintain a personalized and professional approach. In this guide, we'll guide you through the steps of creating and managing newsletters in Pabau.

Step 1: Navigate to Broadcasts

Log in to your Pabau account, and in the left sidebar menu, click on Marketing, then click on Broadcasts.
 

 Step 2: Review Existing Campaigns

On the left side, view existing newsletter campaigns categorized by status - Ongoing, Draft, and Completed. In the center, see campaign details such as status, name, subject, sent date, recipients, and performance statistics.

Step 3: Initiate a New Email Campaign

To start a new email campaign, click "Create Campaign" in the top right corner. In the "Select a channel" window, choose "Email".

Step 4: Campaign Creation Sections

The newsletter creation page is divided into four parts: Settings, Design, Audience, and Send or Schedule.

Settings Tab: Provide the campaign title (for internal purposes) and the email subject (visible to clients). Choose the campaign type: Standard (one-time) or Automated.


Design Tab: Choose a preexisting template or code your own. 


- If using a preexisting template, click on the desired template, then click "Next" in the top right corner.

This opens the design editing page, where you can drag and drop elements to reorder, change text, and edit components.

Add a new component (columns, heading, text, image button, divider, HTML code, or a menu) by closing the editing menu (clicking the X button or outside the template).
Drag and drop the desired component and proceed to edit. Add blocks or modify elements like text color, background color, and font family by clicking on "Body."



- If coding your own template, click on "Code Your Own," input HTML code, and preview the email before saving the code.

NOTE: The templates you've created on your own will be added in the Custom Templates category of the Design tab, right below the Premium templates.


Audience Tab: Here you can choose who will receive your SMS campaign. If you want all clients to receive it, click on "All Clients".

If you choose to send it to all clients, you can easily select only clients who have opted into Newsletters. Additionally, you can filter clients by labels. To learn more about client labels, read this article.




If you wish to send it only to a specific group of clients, click on "Client groups" and select the group you need.

Send or Schedule Tab:
Decide to send the campaign immediately by clicking "Send Campaign Now," or schedule it by expanding the "Schedule campaign" field and selecting the date and time.

Confirm by clicking "Scheduled" or cancel the schedule by clicking "Cancel Schedule." To send a test email, click "Send Test" in the top right corner.

Step 5: Campaign Completion


The campaign will appear in the Newsletter tab on the Broadcasts page, initially marked as "Processing" until sent, then changing to "Sent" status.
