Teams & Partners: How to create and send a Central Send Email campaign

Create and send an email from a primary account that appears as if it were created and sent by the subaccounts that you select

Central Send emails allow Teams and Partners to create and send an email from a primary account that distributes to selected subaccounts, and accesses lists that were created as presets. All the account details and email settings are pulled from the individual subaccount’s records, even though the email is being created and sent from the primary account. The sent campaign and reporting are then housed in each subaccount.

Important: Central Send must be enabled by a Constant Contact support agent or your account management team.

1. In the MY ORGANIZATION menu on the left-hand side, click Central send > Email.
   Important: Central Send will not work with emails that were not created through the Central send menu.
   
   
   
   
2. Find a template and then place your cursor over the template's thumbnail and click Select. It is automatically created as a Central Send Email.
   Design tip: If you're having trouble selecting a template, give our email generator a try! Just type in a short description of your email topic and click the Create button.
   
   
   
   
3. In the email editor, add your content. You create your Central Send Email just as you would any other email campaign. Once the email is sent, the address in the footer, the company name and address, and all the email and account settings are pulled from each subaccount.
   Design tip: Central Send Emails are compatible with both dynamic links and dynamic image variables, so you can make the content even more targeted for each subaccount.
4. When you're ready, click Continue.
   
   
   
   
5. From the Schedule page, select a previously created Central Send list or create a new one. The preset list you select on this screen tells you how many accounts and lists the campaign will be sending to.
6. When you're ready to send, select either:

• Send Now - and click Send.
• Schedule for Later - and click Schedule.
  
  
  
  

You can find your Central Send emails on the Campaigns page by selecting clicking Marketing channels > All campaigns from the MY MARKETING menu on the left-hand side, and then choosing Campaigns > Central Send emails. Although this campaign shows as sent in your primary account, there won't be any reporting. The reporting for the email is unique to each subaccount.

Did you know? Central Send campaigns and standard email campaigns can't be used interchangeably. You can copy a Central Send Email to use as another Central Send Email, but you can't copy a standard email campaign to use as a Central Send Email, or vice versa.
