Emma Email Campaigns
Spendgo allows you to trigger Email sends from Emma using a Date & Time or Recurring campaign you create in the Spendgo Dashboard. Either on the specified date/time (via Date & Time Campaign) or recurring date/time (via Recurring Campaign) the event is triggered for the specific audience Members to Emma, which initiates the send email process associated with the event name that has been mapped between the Spendgo campaign and Emma Automation Workflow.
Before creating the Email Campaign in the Spendgo Dashboard you first must create an Emma Automation workflow which triggers an Emma mailing on an event. Name your event within Emma, this event name must be mapped to Spendgo to be enacted.
Visit Emma for documentation on how to create an Event Name for mapping to your Spendgo Campaign.
NOTE: Due to Emma API send limitations any Emma Email Campaign will be limited to 3,000 recipients and campaigns should only be scheduled to run between 1am PT - 5am PT.
