Campaigns

Product updates, launch notes, and newsletters go to your contacts from your own domain, now or on a schedule. Send from the dashboard or the API, with the same templates, events, and bill as the rest of your email.

A campaign run goes from scheduled to dispatching to completed. Its dispatched count rises to 212 of 214 recipients, and two suppressed contacts are skipped.

Announcements usually mean a second tool: another domain to set up, another template system, another contact list that drifts from the one you answer customers from, another bill priced per contact.

A campaign goes to every contact in its audience. Suppressed contacts are skipped before anything sends.

## Create, send, and watch.

Sending a newsletter? [See the newsletter API page](https://samva.dev/solutions/newsletters).

1. **Create the campaign.** A published template or an inline email, sent to an audience picked by tags or contact ids.
2. **Run it now or schedule it.** Pause, resume, or cancel a run while it sends.
3. **Watch each recipient.** See who was sent, failed, or skipped, and why. Unsubscribed, suppressed, or blocked contacts are skipped for you.

## What comes with a campaign.

- **Unsubscribe handled**: One-click unsubscribe on every campaign, plus your brand footer and unsubscribe link.
- **Engagement on your webhook**: Opens, clicks, and unsubscribes arrive as signed webhook events tagged with the campaign and run.
- **Paced on new domains**: A domain with a warm-up plan paces campaign runs until it is ready.
- **From anywhere**: The dashboard, SDK, REST, the CLI with a dry run, or MCP.
- **Billed as sends**: Each recipient is one email on your plan.

## Beyond a single send: journeys and newsletters.

- **Journeys**: Automated email sequences that start on a contact event, a new contact, a tag, or a group, then wait, branch, and exit.
- **Newsletters**: Write issues in Markdown, send them as campaigns, and publish a public archive on your own domain.

## Common questions.

### Is this an email marketing platform?

No. A campaign sends one email to a list of contacts from your own domain. Automated sequences are journeys.

### What are journeys?

Automated email sequences that start on a contact event, a new contact, a tag, or a group, then wait, branch, and exit.

### Can I publish a newsletter?

Yes. You write Markdown issues, send them as campaigns, and publish a public archive on your own domain.

### Can I use my existing templates?

Yes. Send a published template or write the email inline. Either way it goes out from your domain.

### Who gets skipped?

Contacts who unsubscribed, are suppressed, or are blocked. Each skipped recipient shows the reason.

### How is it billed?

Campaigns are on the paid plans. Each recipient is one email on your plan, and plans also include an active-contact allowance, listed on the pricing page.
