The Campaign editor is a dynamic feature that allows you to customize communications according to your specifications. This allows you to promote new releases, products, news and updates to engage customers, drive traffic to your site, and boost sales.
The Newsletter Campaign feature is available to users with Standard and Extended subscription plans.
Creating and Editing a Campaign
From the backoffice, open the Newsletter menu.
Select Create a Campaign
Choose from a list of recipients, and give your Campaign a title.

In the Content section you will find everything you need to build your campaign, including Email Subject.
Campaign content is composed of block elements, similar to the Article Editor. The available content blocks are:
Text
Collection
Image
Button
Separator
Items
Playlist
Blog
As you build your campaign content and edit the style, the live preview displays your work on the right. Edit each block using Content Block Settings

Add a Collection or Playlist and adjust the arrangement, layout as well as image aspect ratio of the items.

A Separator Bar clearly individuates content blocks. The Separator Bar inherits its color from Text Styles.
