Campaigns is a series of multi-channel steps including emails, phone calls, InMail and custom tasks that allows you to streamline your communications with your potential customers and existing customers. Three things are accomplished with Campaigns: Organize: Streamline all your outreach activities in one place for efficient execution Scale: Schedule all your outreach efforts so that you can scale your efforts, minimize manual work and personalize as much as you need Measure: Track the success of all your emails and tasks in one place while automatically logging them into Salesforce. By knowing what is resonating and leading to results, you can consistently test and improve your results How do you set up a Campaign? On the Conversations page, head over to the Campaigns Tab: Then, create a category by clicking on the plus sign next to "Categories" and create a new Campaign by clicking on the 'Create a Campaign" button: Add a campaign name, and then click out of the text field to save. Now, you can add a step to Day One by clicking the "Add a Step" button and choose any of the following step-types: Email, Call, Inmail, or you can create your own Custom Task After you create your first day and step, the "Add a Day" button will activate and you can continue to add as many days and steps as your sales process requires. PLEASE NOTE: "Days" are not the number of days between actions, but the day within the sequence. For example, if your campaign is going to last 7 days, entering '3' means the action will go out on day 3 of 7 - not 3 days later. Make sure you customize scheduling and reply options, such as skipping weekends (which is awesome!) by visiting the Settings Tab for your Campaign: Now it's time to start Adding People to your Campaign!

For our customers with Campaigns we have now added the ability to put someone on a campaign from any page. There are three ways you can do it: One person at a time Send to selected people Send to an entire group Let's walk through each one! Just hit Add to Campaign instead of Compose to put a single person onto the campaign. This time, I want to send it to three people so I go into People and select a few contacts. Now, instead of Email Selected people, I click Add Selected to Campaign Finally, you know you want to send the campaign to the entire group, so open the group and just click Add Group to Campaign All of these options will show the Campaign modal which after you click Next, will allow you to preview the first email: After hitting Next again, you will be taken to an option for when you want your campaign to go out.  You can either have it start now, or schedule a time for later to begin the campaign: It's just that easy!

Unfortunately we don't have a way to pause a campaign over the holidays. My best suggestion would be to go into your scheduled folder and do a bulk reschedule by selecting the checkbox at the top of the Scheduled page and select the dropdown next to "Send Followup" and click "Change scheduled time" From here you can change the time for all of the outgoing emails and this will allow you to delay the sending of the campaigns until after the holidays, and thus 'pause' the campaign.

If your replies are not tracking the first thing you may have a broken Gmail or Microsoft Exchange integration, depending on what Email client you use. If you are using a custom SMTP to send your emails then you might be using an older form of reply tracking that relies on several factors. In order for ToutApp to track a reply accurately when using a custom SMTP server, two things must match up: Email address of the recipient  The email address of the recipient must remain unchanged. The recipient must reply using the same email address you addressed the initial email to.  For example if you email someone at sheep@clothing.com: but they reply as wolf@clothing.com, the reply will not track Subject line The subject line has to be consistent. The reply to your email must have the same subject line as the initial email you sent to the recipient. Additionally, tracking will only be applied to the first person in the 'To' field of an email. Instead of sending an email with multiple people in this 'To' field, to get the most accurate tracking on an email, use our Group Email functionality! Reply tracking is currently only available for Gmail and Exchange users!

In order to delete a campaign you have to remove all contacts who have been on this campaign.  The easiest way to find this is to go into your Sent Folder and filter back to the time period you sent the campaign by clicking View Options.  The select all and use the bulk actions dropdown arrow to remove them all from the campaign.  You can also remove contacts from Overdue Tasks in the Command Center if they are not appearing in the Sent folder.  Click on the Calendar button and filter back to when you added contacts to the campaign in order to display the tasks. If you still have trouble, please contact Support.

When sending a Campaign, you have two options on how your emails are created in ToutApp: 1. Automatically 2. Manually The first option is an "Automatic" email. These emails go out at a specified time, are scheduled and delivered via Tout without you having to lift a finger. The second option is a "Manual" email. A manual email is an email that is generated in your task list in ToutApp.com for you to send on your own. This email gets generated as a task, so you can be more strategic in your outreach by making sure you take the time to personalize and edit the email before it lands in your prospect's inbox.

Great question!  We've built Campaigns 2.0 to be as precise as your process demands it to be. You can either schedule each individual email step of your Campaign to go out at a specific time or choose each subsequent email step to go out at the same time as the first email in your Campaign. All you need to do is choose when you'd like your emails to be sent when you create your Campaign. Here are your options for the first email in your Campaign: Here are your options for all subsequent steps: **If you didn't schedule your first step or need to choose a "Send at" time - you will be asked to choose when your Campaign should be sent, each time you add a person or a group.** Open up the Add to Campaign modal, either by adding individuals, a group, or selected people and click Next: After you click Next, this page will allow you to preview the first email: After hitting Next again, you will be taken to an option for when you want your campaign to go out.  You can either have it start now, or schedule a time for later to begin the campaign: It's just that easy!

Have you checked your Failed Delivery or Bounced folders? Quite often when we hear this you will find the first email in one of these two places. If you find your email there, you will also be able to click into the email to see the reason why the email wasn't delivered. The most common reason we see for the first email failing is that the dynamic fields could not be populated. We would suggest checking both your template and your contact that the dynamic fields are formatted correctly and that your contact has all of the relevant data.

Tasks are a powerful tool when sending a campaign to a contact - especially if your Sales process is a multi-channel, multi-touch process. Task to send an Email and Task to Call a contact are the most common uses for Tasks in Campaigns. However you can also make a Task to Inmail a contact on LinkedIn if that is part of your workflow, or finally, you can make a custom task to remind you to invite them to a happy hour, ask about their charity event, or check in after game 5, etc. **The most important thing about Tasks in Campaigns, you have to complete the task in order to trigger the next step** Currently, Tasks will always be associated with each individual in the campaign.  This does mean that you have to go into each person and close the task in order for their individual campaign to proceed. You can manage your tasks in the Tasks 'tab' of your Campaign in Campaigns 2.0 - or manage directly from your Command Center in ToutApp.com, or from the Tasks section of the Live Feed. Additionally, you can also manage your tasks from Salesforce if that suits your workflow more efficiently.

We wouldn't recommend changing a campaign that is currently in flight. We would recommend canceling the current campaign that is running and restart it with the new flow. However, if you do, keep in mind that once you have sent Email #1, Email #2 has been created and scheduled. If you want to change Email #2, you will need to cancel the campaign. If you want to change Email #3, you will be able to edit this since it hasn't been created yet.  Still need help?  Click contact support and share with us your questions! Questions: What is the name of the campaign you are working on? What is an email address of a contact receiving this campaign? Which steps are you looking to change?

In order for Tasks to Sync we have to have a Salesforce ID for that contact saved in toutapp.com. Salesforce IDs are added to toutapp.com through Push to Tout.  Make sure you have Task Sync checked in your Salesforce Settings. Additionally, deleting a task in Salesforce or skipping the task will not update the tasks properly in both places.

Changes made to the templates apart of your campaign will ONLY show up if the email has not been created/scheduled yet. Check out the diagram below to see what happens on day one of a three-step campaign. As you can see, once the first email is sent out the following email will be immediately created and scheduled to go out. Any changes made to Email B at this point will not be reflected when it is time to send. You will need to cancel the campaign and rebuild it starting from the updated version of Email B.

The most common reason that a campaign cannot be started is due to a contact already being on a campaign. To figure this out, search for the person on the People tab and open their contact card. If it shows they are on a campaign, you will either need to remove them yourself or ask the colleague who added them to a campaign to remove them.

Rather than sending an email in a campaign, you have the option to create a Task to remind you to send the email. The great thing about this - is that you can choose when your subsequent emails go out AND you have the opportunity to personalize each individual email before it gets sent out. You'll be able to access this task right from your inbox in Gmail and Outlook, as well as in ToutApp.com and in your Live Feed. To have your email be queued up as an email task, just check the following email task option: When you select this option, the email will show up in your Task bar in Command Center: If you click Email, it will pop out the Template you selected in the Campaign to send to the contact (Tout will also complete your task so your Campaign moves forward): Here's what the task will look like in the Live Feed: And what it looks like in Gmail:
