Create a campaign
Click New campaign and choose a build mode:Campaign settings
The settings panel groups everything you configure:- Basic information: name and description.
- Audience: the Topic (required, one or more) and an optional Segment. The recipient count updates live as you choose.
- Subject & preview: the subject line and preview text.
- Email settings: From domain, From name and Reply-to.
- Send schedule.
Preview and test
- Live Preview renders your email for desktop, tablet and mobile.
- Send test emails a copy (with sample data filled in) to your own account inbox. Save the campaign first if prompted.
Pre-send analysis
When you choose Send or Schedule, Railmail runs a Pre-Send Analysis before anything goes out. It saves a draft, runs deliverability checks, then adds an assistant review and an overall score. Checks include: link validation, spam score and spam words, subject length, personalization, unsubscribe link, image-to-text ratio, sender domain verified (SPF/DKIM/DMARC), recipient count, domain warming quota, merge tags, plain-text version, content length and per-topic consent. Each check returns Pass, Warning or Fail with a severity:- Critical issues block the send: you must resolve them before continuing.
- Warnings let you proceed with Send anyway / Schedule anyway.
The assistant review may be skipped if the score is too low, a critical check fails, or you’re out of AI credits. The deliverability checks still run.
