Quick start
From a new account to a sent campaign, in about 30 minutes.
The shortest path from a new account to a campaign in someone's inbox. Budget about 30 minutes, most of which is waiting for DNS.
1. Set up your brand
Signing up creates your account and one brand. Go to Settings → Brand and fill in the sending identity: from-name, from-address, and the business postal address that appears in email footers.
Anti-spam law in most countries requires a valid physical address in marketing email. Leaving it blank puts your sending at legal risk and hurts deliverability, because filters look for it.
2. Verify your sending domain
In Settings → Domains, enter the domain you want to send from. Nectazo gives you three DKIM records to add at your DNS provider, then checks them for you. Until this is verified you cannot send from your own domain.
DNS changes usually appear within 15 minutes but can take up to 48 hours. Full detail in Sending domain and DNS.
3. Add your contacts
- 1Create a list under
Lists— something like “Newsletter”. - 2Import a CSV under
Contacts → Import, mapping your columns to Nectazo fields, and choose that list. - 3Or connect a signup form, or push contacts from your website via the API.
Only import people who agreed to hear from you. See Consent and unsubscribes.
4. Build the email
Go to Campaigns → New campaign. Give it a name and subject line, then drag blocks onto the canvas. Every block has settings in the right-hand inspector when you select it. Full detail in The email builder.
Use {{first_name}} anywhere in your text or subject to personalise it.
5. Choose who receives it
In the campaign's targeting panel, pick one or more lists, one or more segments, or both. Nectazo sends to everyone matched by any of them, deduplicated, skipping anyone not subscribed.
6. Send a test, then send it
- 1Send a test to yourself and open it on a phone as well as a desktop.
- 2Check the unsubscribe link, your from-name, and that images load.
- 3Press Send. Nectazo checks your plan has room for the whole audience before it starts, so a send never stops halfway.
Once it goes out, the campaign switches to a report showing delivery, opens, clicks and which links people clicked. See Reports.
Sensible next steps
- Set a default header and footer so every future campaign starts on-brand — Templates.
- Add a welcome automation so new subscribers hear from you immediately.
- Check Deliverability after your first real send.
