Send first campaign
Step-by-step guide to creating and sending your first email campaign in Grivo.
Last updated: April 2026
Before you start
You need at least one contact in your subscriber list. Contacts can come from:
- Chat widget lead capture - Visitors who shared their email through your AI chatbot (set up lead capture)
- CSV import - Upload a spreadsheet of contacts
- Manual add - Add contacts one by one in the Subscribers section
Create a campaign
- Go to Campaigns in the sidebar
- Click Create Campaign
- Enter a campaign name (internal only - recipients won't see this)
- Enter the email subject line
💡 Tip: Use the AI email writer to generate subject line options. Short, specific subject lines (under 50 characters) get the best open rates.
Choose recipients
Select who receives your email:
- All subscribers - Send to everyone in your contact list
- Specific list - Send to a tagged segment (e.g., "chatbot leads", "Pro users")
Design your email
Grivo includes a drag-and-drop email builder. You can:
- Start from a template or build from scratch
- Drag content blocks: text, image, button, divider, columns
- Use the AI writer to generate email body copy
- Preview on desktop and mobile
The builder auto-saves as you work. No risk of losing changes.
Preview and send
- Click Preview to see exactly what recipients will receive
- Send a test email to yourself first (recommended)
- Choose to Send now or Schedule for a specific date/time
- Click Send Campaign
Track results
After sending, track performance in the campaign dashboard:
- Delivered - How many emails were successfully delivered
- Opens - How many recipients opened the email
- Clicks - How many clicked a link
- Bounces - Emails that couldn't be delivered
- Unsubscribes - Recipients who opted out
