Designing campaign content

Designing campaign content

Subject lines, templates, and the email editor.

Content settings

On the Content step set:

  • Subject line — Keep it clear; avoid spam triggers
  • Preview text — Shown beside the subject in many inboxes
  • From name / email — Must be on your verified marketing domain. Overrides list defaults if set.

Building the email

  • Start from a template or blank layout
  • Use the visual builder to add sections, text, images, and buttons
  • Insert merge tags for subscriber fields
  • Preview desktop and mobile before sending

Footer, unsubscribe, and address

Every live campaign must include {{ unsubscribeUrl }} (the visual builder adds this automatically). Mailivate also inserts your workspace mailing address in the footer so the message meets inbox-provider and CAN-SPAM rules. You can place {{ senderAddress }} yourself; if you omit it, it is added at send time.

See Inbox deliverability.

Links and tracking

Mailivate tracks opens and link clicks automatically via a tracking pixel and rewritten links. Use full https:// URLs for buttons and text links.

Test before sending

Send a test email to yourself or teammates from the delivery step. Fix rendering issues in major clients before the live send.
