Create a Campaign: Step 1—Parameters 🎬 Follow

Campaigns are email blasts to multiple members of the community. Email campaigns promote available research and engagement activities by sending emails to all members or a segment of members. Campaigns are also utilized to send recruitment emails, inviting people to join your community.

Email Campaigns use the Community's name as the name associated with the email address that sends the campaigns. If your community is blinded, make sure that your Fuel Cycle representative uses the blinded name for your community during your initial set-up.

1. Go to Communication Center > Campaigns to create a new campaign; click on the New Campaign button.
   

2. Assign a team to the activity—Your activity is available to All Moderators of the community by default. Select another team in the dropdown menu if you want to make a change.
   

   Note—Once you assign a team to an activity, you won’t be able to change it.

3. Add basic details for your campaign in the Parameters tab.
   
   
   • Name [Required]—This is only for internal reasons to help you distinguish the different campaigns.
     

     Use up to 100 characters for your name.

   • Subject [Required]—This is the actual subject line of the email. Unicode emojis are supported; paste them into your Subject.

     While you may use a maximum of 150 characters for your subject, it's preferable to have the shortest subject line that conveys exactly what you need.

   • Preheader [Required]—This preview text is displayed to recipients in their inboxes. Unicode emojis are supported; paste them into your preheader.

     You may enter up to 150 characters but it's preferable to use 90 characters.

   • Automatic Login Links—When enabled, members automatically log into the community and navigate to the activity detail page linked from the email. For security reasons, we restrict you to 1-3 automatic clicks, depending on the settings enabled for your community. Once members have used their autologin links, they will be prompted to log in before continuing to the activity page.
   • Marketing Automation Integration—This requires the Member API integration. If you have this integration and enable this option, we will not send the campaign to members who have recently received an email from your marketing automation platform.
   • Fuel Cycle Email Composer—Use Fuel Cycle's drag-and-drop email composer or disable it to use the legacy editor. We recommend using the new Fuel Cycle Email Composer.
