To configure the
Email Autoresponder app completely in Geminii
consists of 3 main steps :
1. Adding Your SMTP
2. Adding Your List & Contacts
3. Creating & Managing Your Campaigns
Now let us explore & set up each step in detail.
Step 1: Adding Your SMTP
To be able to add your SMTP, simply go to Your SMTP >> Add New SMTP >> Enter your SMTP related details like :
- SMTP Name
- SMTP Host
- SMTP Port
- SMTP Username
- SMTP Password
- From Name (This is the name from which the campaign would be sent)
- From E-mail (This is the email from which the campaign would be sent)
- Reply-to E-mail (This is the email on which you would receive the replies from your audience)
Step 2: Creating New List & Adding Your Contacts
At first, you need to create a New List & then Add Contacts to the following list.
To be able to create a New List, simply go to
List & Contacts >> Create New List >> Enter the List Name & its related Remarks
and click on
Save Details & Create List.
To be able to Add Contacts to the following list, start by simply clicking on ‘Add Contact’ listed in parallel to that list.
Now you have 2 options - either you can add the contacts one by one or you can directly fetch in bulk via a CSV file.
A. Add contacts one by one to the list
To add one contact at a time, enter the Contact Name and his/her Email ID >> click on Save.
Note: You can also add additional information if you want by simply clicking on + Additional Information.
B. Import contacts in bulk via CSV to the list
To add contacts via CSV, you will first have to download the CSV sample file by clicking on 'Download Sample'. You will then match & arrange your Actual Contacts data basis how the sample CSV file is made. Once you have arranged the data & fill in the required rows & columns as per the sample data CSV - you can then simply upload your Actual Data CSV file in the 3rd box option.
The system will now map your data & fetch in all the details. Once the mapping is done completely, you can click on ‘Save Contacts and Continue’ in order to save the contacts in that list.
Note:
In case the system shows any error message, request you to please go & match your
Actual data CSV to the Sample CSV
again as the data needs to be arranged in a perfect & duplicated manner.
Step 3: Creating & Managing Your Campaigns
Every time you want to broadcast or run an email campaign, this is where you need to setup everything related to that particular campaign. To be able to create your Email Campaign, simply to go Campaigns >> click on Create Campaigns and Enter the required details.
After filling in your Campaign Name, Email Subject Line & its Preheader - you need to select the
Contact list(s)
on which you want to run/broadcast the campaign
and then
Select Your SMTP
through which your emails will be sent.
After you are done, you can click on
'Continue to Email Builder'
wherein you can decide the look & feel of your Email.
Email Builder
is a really interesting built-in space in Geminii wherein you can create, edit and play around with your Emails & their designs - and make each of your campaigns shine better & better from the last time. Below we will show you so many possibilities & unique things that you can do with our Email Builder. You can add Elements that are divided into
Typography, Media, Layout, Button, Social, Footer.
After you are satisfied with your design, click on ‘
Save & Continue’
located on the bottom left area of the dashboard. As the next step,
you can review your entire campaign for a final check to avoid any mistakes or to go back to change anything.
We suggest that you also 'Send a Test Email' on your email id to see what your broadcast email will ultimately look like. If you still feel that you need to go 'Back to the Email Builder' to change or add anything - you can easily do that as well.
