Access Campaigns from inside the Admin Dashboard, by clicking the Campaigns tab. 

Step 1 is to Name your Campaign and Schedule. 

• Name your Campaign
• You'll choose the iFOLIO to include from the Carousel. You can also preview or edit the iFOLIO from here.

Scheduling is a breeze.

• You can Send Now - to send as you finish the 3 steps, or
• Set a future day and time. 

1. Select 'Text Message' in the 'Delivery Mode' Section
2. Add your message copy into the editor on the left.  You'll see changes reflected in the preview on the right.  Important Note: Keep the [link] placeholder in your message. The [link] placeholder inserts the link to your iFOLIO page and generates the individual tracked links that generate each recipient's analytics.
3. Choose the number(s) the campaign will be sent from.  For large campaigns that use a pool of numbers, leave this field blank and it will pull from the pool set in your account.
4. 'Test to Yourself' by entering your number beneath the message field. Check out exactly how the message looks and ensure it appears as intended. 

Personalize text messages by creating attribute placeholders surrounded by square brackets in the message. Reminder: When you add personalized attributes to the message, make sure that you have added corresponding columns to your campaign list.

• Example: [Name]  [Membership Level] or [Renewal Date] and other attributes you've built into your campaign sheet. 

iFOLIO supports easy Campaign Message Personalization and Subject Line Personalization to help you stand out in recipient inboxes. Personalized emails have a 26% higher open rate than generic emails.
