Sending an Email
Learn how to compose and send an email campaign to your subscribers in TribeNest.
Once you have a list of subscribers and (optionally) a template ready, you can send your first email campaign. A campaign is a single email sent to everyone on a chosen list.
Compose a New Campaign
- Go to Emails in your dashboard sidebar.
- Click the Campaigns tab.
- Click Create Campaign.
- Fill in the campaign details:
- Campaign Name — An internal name to help you identify this campaign later (your subscribers will not see this).
- Subject Line — The subject your subscribers will see in their inbox. Make it compelling.
- Preview Text — A short snippet that appears next to or below the subject line in most email apps. Use it to give extra context.
- From Name — The sender name your subscribers will see (usually your artist or project name).
Choose Your Audience
- Under Recipients, select the email list you want to send to.
You will see the total number of subscribers on that list. This is how many people will receive your email.
Tip
Write your subject line as if you are texting a friend. Short, personal subject lines like "New track just dropped" tend to get opened more than formal ones.
Design Your Email
-
Choose how you want to build your email content:
- Use a Template — Pick one of your saved templates. The design and layout will be loaded into the editor, and you can customize the content for this specific campaign.
- Start from Scratch — Open the drag-and-drop editor with a blank canvas.
-
Edit the email content in the visual editor. Add your message, images, links, and buttons. Everything you learned in the Creating a Template guide applies here.
-
Click Save when your content is ready.
Preview and Test
Before sending to your entire list, it is a good idea to preview your email.
- Click Send Test Email.
- Enter your own email address.
- Check the test email in your inbox to see exactly how it will look for your subscribers.
Always Send a Test
Test emails help you catch typos, broken images, and layout issues before they reach your fans. Take 30 seconds to send one — it is worth it every time.
Review your test email on both a computer and a phone to make sure it looks good everywhere.
Send Your Campaign
When everything looks good:
- Click Send Campaign.
- Confirm the details in the summary that appears — subject line, recipient list, and subscriber count.
- Click Send Now to deliver the email to your subscribers.
Your campaign will begin sending immediately. Depending on the size of your list, delivery may take a few moments.
What Happens After You Send
After sending, your campaign moves to the Sent section under the Campaigns tab. From there you can:
- View delivery status
- See how many subscribers opened your email
- Track link clicks
- Access the full email report
Tip
The best days to send emails are typically Tuesday through Thursday. But every audience is different — pay attention to your open rates and experiment with timing.
