Signature Campaigns
Create and manage time-limited marketing campaigns that display promotional banners and content within email signatures. Campaigns allow you to leverage outbound email as a marketing channel with consistent branding.

Campaign Types

Scheduling
- Immediate start — Campaign begins as soon as activated
- Scheduled start — Campaign begins on a future date
- Auto-end — Campaign automatically deactivates on end date
- Recurring — Set campaigns to repeat on a schedule
Best Practices
- Keep banners small — Limit banner size to avoid inflating email size.
- Use clear CTAs — Include obvious call-to-action text on campaign banners.
- Set end dates — Always configure an end date to prevent stale campaigns.
- Track performance — Review click-through rates to optimize future campaigns.
