Snov.io Campaigns<\/b><\/a> lets you build your email sequence once and run it automatically. Once you set emails, delays, and schedule, the campaign runs on its own. You can also add LinkedIn steps to your sequence to reach people on both channels. <\/span>This guide walks you through your first campaign from start to launch.<\/span><\/span><\/p>\n

Step 1: Build your email sequence<\/span><\/a><\/p>\n

Step 2: Add recipients<\/span><\/a><\/p>\n

Step 3: Configure sending settings<\/span><\/a><\/p>\n

Step 1: Build your email sequence - start simple<\/b><\/h2>\n

For your first campaign, we recommend starting with a simple sequence instead of a complex sequence with conditional triggers and LinkedIn actions. It\u2019s easier to manage and troubleshoot, and you can add more steps later.\u00a0<\/span><\/p>\n

To get started, go to <\/span>Campaigns<\/b><\/a> in your Snov.io account and click <\/span>+<\/strong><\/span> New campaign<\/b><\/a>.<\/span><\/p>\n

You'll see a visual sequence builder. Add email steps and delays in the order you want them to send.<\/span><\/p>\n

Add your first email<\/b><\/h3>\n

Click the <\/span>Email <\/b>element (or drag it onto the canvas) to open the Email editor. Write your message here.<\/span>\"\"Sequence elements:<\/b><\/h4>\n

1) Email:<\/b> Add dynamic personalization to make it more relevant for your recipients.<\/span><\/p>\n

\n
\"learn\"<\/div>\n
\n

For higher engagement, send targeted emails highlighting specific benefits and value.<\/span><\/p>\n<\/div>\n<\/div>\n

2) LinkedIn: <\/b>Add LinkedIn actions to the sequence to automatically contact prospects on LinkedIn. You'll probably want to skip this for your first campaign and add it later once you're comfortable with the flow.\u00a0<\/span><\/p>\n

3) Condition: <\/b>Set up different follow-ups based on what a recipient did: opened your email, clicked a link, or booked a meeting.\u00a0<\/span><\/p>\n

4) Delay:<\/b> Set waiting times between emails.<\/span><\/p>\n

\n
\"learn\"<\/div>\n
\n

Add delays of 2-4 days between your follow-up messages to avoid overwhelming recipients while gradually building their interest.<\/span><\/p>\n<\/div>\n<\/div>\n

5) Goal: <\/b>Use this to close the sequence and segment leads by how they engaged throughout.<\/span><\/p>\n
