How to Create Your First Email Marketing Campaign

Introduction

Creating your first email marketing campaign may seem complex, but with MarketAutoHub you can do it in just a few minutes. This guide will show you the complete step-by-step process, from accessing the system to the final send configuration.

💡 Quick tip: Before you start, make sure you already have imported contacts and at least one email template created.

Prerequisites

Before creating your first campaign, you'll need:

1. Active account on MarketAutoHub
2. Contact list imported into the system
3. Email template ready (or use default templates)
4. SMTP configuration defined (your email provider)

Step 1: Access the System

Access the admin panel at marketautohub.com/login and log in with your credentials.

After logging in, you'll be redirected to the Dashboard where you can see all your campaign statistics.

Step 2: Navigate to Campaigns

In the sidebar, click on Campaigns or directly access the URL:

https://marketautohub.com/admin/campanhas

You'll see the list of all your existing campaigns (if any) and a "New Campaign" button in the top right corner.

Step 3: Start New Campaign

Click the "New Campaign" button and choose the "Guided Mode" option. This is the simplest and recommended mode for beginners.

The guided mode will walk you through 5 simple steps:

1. Campaign name
2. Email template
3. Target audience
4. Sending strategy
5. Final settings

Step 4: Define Campaign Name

Choose a descriptive name for your campaign. This name is only for your internal organization, your contacts won't see it.

Best practices:

• Use dates: "Black Friday 2026"
• Be specific: "Product X Launch - Sequence 1"
• Avoid generic names like "Campaign 1"

Step 5: Choose Templates

Here you have two options:

Single Template

Use a single email template for all contacts. Ideal for newsletters or simple announcements.

Sequential Templates

Use multiple templates in sequence. Perfect for:

• Nurture campaigns
• Onboarding series
• Automatic follow-ups

You can use existing templates or create a new one by clicking "Create Template". The template editor allows you to create beautiful HTML emails using our default templates or inserting your own HTML code.

Step 6: Select Audience

Choose which contact group will receive the campaign:

• Select one or more contact categories
• The system will show the total number of recipients
• Only active contacts will be included

⚠️ Important: If you don't have contacts yet, you'll be redirected to the import page.

Step 7: Define Sending Strategy

This is one of the most important parts! Define how MarketAutoHub will use your SMTP providers:

Single

Manually choose which email will send all emails. Simple and straightforward.

Round-robin

The system alternates between your configured SMTP providers. Recommended for:

• Avoiding provider blocks
• Distributing send load
• Higher delivery rate

Random

The system randomly chooses which provider to use for each send. Good for natural distribution.

Step 8: Final Settings

The last step includes optional advanced settings:

Schedule Send

You can schedule the campaign for a specific date and time. Perfect for sending at peak engagement times.

Time Between Rounds

For campaigns with sequential templates, define the interval between each template:

• 5s to 300s (5 minutes): Fast sending
• 86400s (24 hours): One message per day
• Maximum: 604800s (7 days)

Throttling

Controls the interval between each individual email sent:

• 3s (default): ~1,200 emails/hour
• 5s: ~720 emails/hour

🔥 Performance Tip: 3s throttling is a good balance between speed and safety. It avoids provider blocks.
