A. Resending a Sent Campaign - to existing contacts

If you wish to re-send a campaign (for example, because you need to change or update some previously sent information, make a correction or similar), follow the instructions below to duplicate a sent campaign to then send it to your existing subscribers. 

NOTE: If you want to re-send the campaign to NEW subscribers (for example those who have just signed up) you will need to perform some manual steps as detailed in section B.

  1. Login to the email newsletter dashboard https://newsletter.purpledogdesign.com
  2. Click on the tab at the top called Create & Send then, in the right sidebar, click Resend a sent campaign. This will load all previously sent campaigns on a new page. image
  3. Click Edit, on your right, to duplicate the sent campaign (see below screenshot)
