Overview
Email Marketing is a tool to communicate with prospects and clients using email. Create email campaigns to send mass communications to a list of recipients. Example email campaigns: sending a newsletter to your current customers, sending policyholders notice of a carrier change, sending a set of emails (drips) to perform cross-sell campaigns. Get started by activating Email Marketing in your account.
