Email Campaigns

Overview

OneSuite Campaigns lets authorized users prepare email campaigns for CRM audience segments using the configured email delivery service. A campaign brings together the campaign name, subject, message content, target segment, sender mailbox or delivery path, and sending schedule so marketing outreach can be managed from one workflow.

Business Value and Typical Use Cases

Send an announcement to a saved audience segment.
Schedule a campaign for later.
Use an authorized sender mailbox for campaign delivery.
Review existing campaigns and reopen a saved draft.

Before You Begin

Create and preview the audience segment first.
Confirm the selected sender mailbox or email delivery service can send.
Review subject and message content before scheduling.

Prerequisites and Permissions

Marketing campaign access.
At least one active audience segment.
Configured email delivery service or accessible sender mailbox.

Concepts

Campaigns and Segments are separate but connected. A segment defines who is eligible to receive the campaign. The campaign defines what is sent and when. Campaign status can move through draft, scheduled, sending, and sent states.

How This Feature Fits Into OneSuite

Marketing audiences derive value from accurate CRM contacts, tags, and customer data. Poor CRM hygiene directly reduces campaign accuracy.

Campaign results should feed operational follow-up: sales teams may need tasks or CRM review, while managers may use reporting to adjust future audience and messaging decisions.

Screen Orientation

Marketing workflows begin with audience quality. Before building or sending a campaign, confirm the intended CRM contacts, tags/segments, consent expectations, and sender configuration.

Use recipient previews and audience counts as a verification step. A campaign should not be sent simply because the composer is complete; staff should understand exactly which records currently match the audience rules.

Campaign scheduling and sending are operational actions with customer impact. Establish an approval process for subject line, content, audience, links, timing, and sender identity.

Open the area described in this guide and pause before editing. Identify the page heading, primary action button, search/filter controls, record list or detail panel, status indicators, and any related-record or history areas. This quick orientation prevents users from applying instructions to the wrong record or module.
When the page contains both a list and a record/detail view, use the list for discovery and the detail view for action. Search or filter first, then open the exact record and verify identifying information before making changes.

Role-Specific Guidance

Marketing users prepare audiences, content, and campaigns within the permissions granted to them.
Managers approve target audience, messaging, timing, and performance review practices.
Administrators maintain connected sending accounts, permissions, and CRM data quality that marketing depends on.

Step-by-Step Instructions

Open Marketing and select Campaigns.
Choose Create Campaign.
Enter a Campaign Name that staff can recognize later.
Enter the Subject Line and message content.
Select the audience segment.
Choose the appropriate sender mailbox or available delivery service.
Save the campaign as a draft while reviewing.
When ready, choose to send now or schedule the campaign for the desired time.
Return to the campaign list to review its status.

Expected Results

The campaign should save with its selected audience and sender settings. When queued or scheduled, OneSuite should use the configured email delivery path to process eligible recipients from the selected segment.

Verification Checklist

Confirm the correct OneSuite user is signed in and the expected role/permissions are active.
Confirm the customer, company, invoice, product, message, appointment, employee, or other record shown on screen is the one intended for the task.
After saving or completing the action, refresh or return to the relevant list and verify the new status, history entry, balance, message, appointment, or record appears where expected.
Verify the selected mailbox/account and intended sender identity before sending any customer communication.
Preview matching recipients and confirm sender, subject, content, links, audience, and schedule before sending.

Business Workflow

Prepare CRM contacts and tags → Build segment → Create campaign → Select segment and sender → Review content → Send now or schedule → Review campaign status.

Real-World Business Scenarios

Segmented customer update: define the CRM audience, preview matching contacts, review the content, then schedule or send using the approved campaign workflow.
Tag-based promotion: confirm tags represent the intended business group before relying on them for campaign targeting.
Campaign follow-up: review delivery/engagement information available in the production interface and create the appropriate sales or service follow-up process.

Advanced Operational Guidance

For repeatable business work, standardize naming, ownership, tags/statuses, and staff responsibilities before increasing volume. Consistency makes OneSuite search, reporting, history, and handoffs substantially more useful.
When multiple modules participate in the workflow, verify each handoff. Do not assume that completing one screen automatically proves the customer, payment, communication, or reporting outcome is correct elsewhere.
Keep mailbox ownership and connected-account responsibilities clear. Shared operational practices should not depend on users borrowing another person’s provider credentials.
Treat CRM data quality as part of marketing operations. Campaign accuracy cannot exceed the accuracy of contact identity, email addresses, tags, and audience rules.

Production screenshots appear here only after approved OneSuite captures are attached. Written instructions are complete without screenshots.

Best Practices

Use a descriptive internal campaign name that differs from the public subject when helpful.
Confirm the segment preview immediately before a large send.
Send from a mailbox recipients will recognize.

Common Mistakes

Creating a campaign before an audience segment exists.
Selecting the wrong sender mailbox.
Scheduling without rechecking the audience or subject line.

Troubleshooting

No segments are available: create or unarchive an audience segment.
Sender mailbox is missing: confirm mailbox access and email provider setup.
Campaign does not send: review campaign status and the selected email delivery service.
