Getting Started

AcelleMail makes it easy to create professional email campaigns without any coding knowledge. In this tutorial, we'll walk through the entire process from start to finish.

Step 1: Create a New Campaign

Navigate to Campaigns → Create New in your AcelleMail dashboard. You'll be asked to choose:

  • Campaign name: Internal name for your reference
  • Subject line: What recipients see in their inbox
  • From name: Your brand or personal name
  • From email: Your verified sending address

Step 2: Select Your Audience

Choose which subscriber list to send to. You can also apply segments to target specific groups:

  • All subscribers on a list
  • A saved segment (e.g., "Active last 30 days")
  • Multiple lists combined

Step 3: Design Your Email

AcelleMail offers two editor modes:

Drag-and-Drop Builder

The visual builder includes pre-built blocks:

  • Text block: Rich text with formatting options
  • Image block: Upload or link to images
  • Button block: CTA buttons with customizable styles
  • Divider: Visual separators
  • Social links: Auto-generated social icons

HTML Editor

For advanced users, switch to the HTML editor for full control:

<table width="600" cellpadding="0" cellspacing="0">
  <tr>
    <td style="padding: 20px;">
      <h1>Hello {FIRST_NAME}!</h1>
      <p>Welcome to our newsletter.</p>
    </td>
  </tr>
</table>

Step 4: Preview and Test

Before sending, always:

  1. Preview on desktop and mobile views
  2. Send a test email to yourself
  3. Check all links are working
  4. Verify merge tags render correctly

Step 5: Schedule or Send

Choose to send immediately or schedule for a specific date/time. AcelleMail supports timezone-aware scheduling.

Tip: Tuesday through Thursday, 10am-2pm in your audience's timezone typically gets the best open rates.
