1. Getting Started with HighLevel Email Campaigns: Templates
The secret to consistently creating great-looking emails without starting from scratch every time? Templates. HighLevel’s email builder comes packed with professionally designed templates you can use as a starting point. This not only saves you a ton of time but also helps maintain a consistent brand look and feel across all your communications.
Choosing the Right Template
To get started, head over to Marketing > Emails and click on the Templates tab. From there, click New and select Email Marketing Templates. You’ll find a library of templates for all sorts of industries and purposes. You can browse, search, and even filter by color to find one that fits your needs. Once you find a template you like, you can preview it to see how it will look on different devices.

2. Customizing Your HighLevel Email Campaigns: The Editor
Once you’ve selected a template, it’s time to make it your own. HighLevel’s email editor is a powerful, user-friendly tool that lets you customize every aspect of your email. You can change the text, swap out images, and adjust the layout to perfectly match your brand and message.
Making It Your Own
In the Marketing > Emails > Templates section, open the template you want to edit. You’ll be taken to the email builder, where you can click on any element to edit it. You can change the text, add your own images, and even add new elements like buttons and social media links. Don’t be afraid to experiment! The editor is very intuitive, and you can always undo your changes if you make a mistake.

Pro Tip: Before you send your campaign to your entire list, send a test email to yourself. This will allow you to see exactly how your email will look in your subscribers’ inboxes and catch any mistakes before it’s too late.
3. Launching Your HighLevel Email Campaigns
With your template polished and ready to go, it’s time for the exciting part: launching your campaign! HighLevel makes it incredibly simple to send your email to your target audience. You can either send it immediately or schedule it to go out at a later time.
From Template to Campaign
To create a campaign from your template, go to Marketing > Emails > Campaigns and click New. Then, select Select Template. Alternatively, you can go to the Templates tab, click the three-dot menu next to your desired template, and select Create Campaign. This will open your template in the campaign editor, where you can make any final adjustments before sending.

Once you’re happy with your campaign, it’s time to send it on its way. HighLevel gives you several options for sending your emails, so you can choose the one that best fits your needs. You can send your campaign immediately, schedule it for a specific time, or even set it up to be sent in batches.
Choosing Your Sending Options
When you’re ready to send, click the Send or Schedule button. This will open a dialog where you can configure your sending options. You can choose to send the campaign to a specific list of contacts, or you can use smart lists to target a specific segment of your audience. You can also choose to send the campaign immediately or schedule it for a later time.

Pro Tip: Use HighLevel’s A/B testing feature to test different subject lines and see which one gets the best open rate. This is a great way to optimize your campaigns and get more engagement from your subscribers.
