Manage signature campaigns

Signature campaigns are a powerful way to change the images and links in your email signatures. You can use them to promote events, share news, or simply keep your email signatures fresh and engaging.

A signature campaign targets a specific signature or a group of signatures. It allows you to change the images and links in those signatures for a specified period of time.

In this guide, we will walk you through the process of creating and managing signature campaigns using AdSigner.

Creating a signature campaign

1. Navigate to the Campaigns page in the Email Signatures section of the organization menu. Press the New campaign button to start creating a new campaign.

2. Select target signatures for your campaign. Only published signatures can be selected. If you have no signatures published, check out our guide on how to create your first signature.
   A collection of banner fields will appear in tabs based on the signatures selected. Only fields in the Banner category can be managed in a campaign. If there are none, the campaign can not be set up.

3. Set the date and time when your campaign should start. If you want the campaign to start immediately, leave the start date empty.
   You can also set an end date for your campaign. If you want the campaign to run indefinitely, leave the end date empty.

4. Select an image for the banner fields you want to display in your signature. The image will be automatically resized based on the rules specified in the signature.

5. Check the preview on the right to see how your campaign will look in the email signature.
   The preview will show you the duration of your campaign and will also include banners from other active campaigns that target the same signatures.
   If you are targeting different types of signatures with different banner dimensions, check the preview for each signature to ensure your campaign looks good across all targeted signatures.

6. Enter the link the user will be redirected to when they click on the banner in the email signature. Make sure the link starts with http://, https:// to ensure it works correctly. tel:, mailto:, and other protocols are also supported.

7. You can add additional segments into the campaign schedule by pressing Add before the end date input. This allows you to set up different banners and links for different time periods within the same campaign.

8. When satisfied with your campaign, press Create campaign to schedule it. The campaign will automatically start and end based on the dates you have set.

9. After you sucessfully create a campaign, you will be taken to a page with a list of campaigns. They are sorted by the time they were created.

Managing multiple campaigns

If you have multiple campaigns targeting the same fields in the same signatures, campaign priority takes effect.

The campaign that is created later has higher priority and will override the banners of the previous campaigns.

This allows you to create an indefinite campaign as a default and then override it later with a time-limited campaign for special occasions, such as holidays or events.

Editing, stopping, and deleting campaigns

Campaigns can be edited by pressing the edit option in the campaign list.

Edit campaign

Schedule segments that have already started can not be edited to ensure that campaigns always accurately reflect their history.

Future segments can be changed or deleted. End date can be changed or removed.

Campaigns that have already ended can not be edited.

Stop campaign

Stopping a campaign is the same as deleting all future segments and setting the ending date to the current date. Stopped campaigns can no longer be restarted or updated.

Delete campaign

Deleting a campaign deactivates in all signatures immediately and removes it from the campaign list. Deleted campaigns can not be restored.
