# Create and Manage Campaigns for Your Agents
Campaigns allow Brokerage Marketing Admins to create, schedule, and send branded email marketing on behalf of multiple agents.
Instead of asking every agent to build and send the same email individually, Admins can prepare the content once, make it available to the appropriate agents, and manage the Campaign at scale.
Each email is personalized using the participating agent’s information and sent to contacts from that agent’s own database. Agents’ contacts remain private throughout the process.
### How Campaigns Work
A Campaign brings together four components:
* An email created and controlled by the Admin
* The companies, regions, offices, or teams whose agents may participate
* Contact tags that determine which contacts should receive the email
* A scheduled date and time for the Campaign to send
Agents can participate in one of two ways:
* **Manual enrollment:** The agent previews the Campaign, chooses to participate, and selects the contact tags they want to use.
* **Automatic enrollment:** An agent enables **Allow admin to send campaigns on my behalf using my tags** from **My Profile > Campaigns**. When the Admin assigns default tags to a Campaign, eligible agents who have enabled this setting can be enrolled using those tags.
{% hint style="warning" %}
**Important:** Agents cannot edit the Campaign’s email content. Finalize and test the email before making it available.
{% endhint %}
### Create a Campaign
#### 1. Select an email template
From the Marketing Center:
1. Click **Marketing**.
2. Find and select an email template.
3. Click **Next**.
4. Select **Create a Campaign**.
The Campaign option is designed for scheduling or sending email on behalf of multiple users.
#### 2. Customize the email
Edit the template to create the final email agents will send.
You can update the copy, images, layout, links, and other supported design elements. Because participating agents cannot edit the Campaign, the content should be complete and ready to send before you continue.
Before moving forward:
* Check all links and calls to action.
* Review the desktop and mobile previews.
* Confirm that the content applies to every agent who will be eligible.
* Avoid adding information that only applies to one office unless the Campaign will be limited to that audience.
#### 3. Add placeholders
Use placeholders to personalize the email for each sender and recipient.
Available placeholder categories include:
* **Recipient:** Information such as the recipient’s first name
* **Sender:** Information associated with the participating agent
For example, a recipient placeholder can greet each contact by first name, while sender placeholders can display the agent’s name, contact information, headshot, or other supported profile details.
{% hint style="info" icon="head-side-brain" %}
**Best practice:** Use placeholders anywhere the message should feel as though it came directly from the participating agent. Avoid manually entering one agent’s information into a Campaign intended for multiple users.
{% endhint %}
#### 4. Complete the Campaign details
Click **Continue**, then provide:
* **Email Campaign Subject:** The subject line contacts will receive
* **Description:** An internal explanation that helps eligible agents understand the Campaign and decide whether to participate
* **Schedule:** The date and time of the first Campaign occurrence
* **Repeat This Campaign:** Optional. Turn this on to automatically repeat the Campaign on an ongoing schedule
The description is only shown to agents who are eligible to participate. It should explain:
* Who the email is intended for
* Why an agent may want to participate
* Which contacts would be a good fit
* What action the email encourages recipients to take
A strong description might read:
> A warm, lifestyle-focused email designed to re-engage buyer leads and start conversations about their next home. It invites recipients to share what they’re looking for, making it ideal for buyers at any stage of the process.
#### Make a Campaign recurring
For communications you want to make available repeatedly, enable **Repeat This Campaign**.
1. Turn on **Repeat This Campaign**.
2. Enter how often the Campaign should repeat.
3. Select **days**, **weeks**, or **months**.
4. Continue setting up the Campaign as usual.
For example:
* Every **7 days**
* Every **2 weeks**
* Every **1 month**
The date and time entered under **Schedule** determines the first occurrence. Rechat then continues the Campaign according to the recurrence you configured.
Rechat determines recipients at each scheduled send time. Each occurrence uses the contacts that match every participating agent's selected tags at that time.
{% hint style="warning" %}
**Important:** Recurring Campaigns do not have an end date. The Campaign will continue recurring according to its configured cadence until an Admin changes its recurrence settings, turns off recurrence, or removes the Campaign.
{% endhint %}
#### What Agents See
Rechat does not create and display every future occurrence of a recurring Campaign at once. Instead, eligible agents see the **next upcoming occurrence** in the Marketing Center.
Agents see the next upcoming occurrence of the Campaign in the Marketing Center. When an agent chooses to participate, they select the contact tags they want to use for the Campaign.
{% hint style="warning" %}
**Important:** Agent enrollment carries forward with a recurring Campaign. Once an agent participates and selects their contact tags, contacts matching those tags will continue receiving future occurrences according to the recurrence configured by the Admin. The agent does not need to enroll again for each occurrence.
{% endhint %}
{% hint style="info" icon="head-side-brain" %}
**Best Practice:** Because an agent's enrollment continues across future occurrences, use recurring Campaigns for content that is appropriate to send repeatedly to contacts matching the same tags. Make the Campaign description clear so agents understand the purpose of the Campaign before participating.
{% endhint %}
#### 5. Choose who can participate
Select the offices, teams, or other organizational groups whose agents should have access to the Campaign.
Depending on your brokerage structure and Admin access, this may include:
* The entire company
* Specific regions
* Individual offices
* Teams or other organizational groups
Only eligible agents within the selected groups will see the Campaign or be able to participate.
{% hint style="info" icon="head-side-brain" %}
**Best practice:** Select only the groups for which the content is relevant. A focused Campaign is easier for agents to understand and more likely to reach the right audience.
{% endhint %}
#### 6. Select default contact tags
Choose the contact tags that identify the intended recipients within each participating agent’s database.
Admins do not select or view individual contacts. Rechat uses the selected tags to identify matching contacts separately within each agent’s account.
Default tags are especially important for agents who have authorized automatic Campaign participation. If an eligible agent has enabled **Allow admin to send campaigns on my behalf using my tags**, the Campaign can use the Admin’s default tags for that agent.
Agents participating manually can review and select the appropriate tags during enrollment.
### Build an Ongoing Campaign Strategy
Campaigns work best when the brokerage establishes consistent marketing programs and corresponding contact tags.
For example, a brokerage might create standardized tags such as:
| Marketing program | Example tag |
| ------------------------- | ------------------------ |
| Brokerage newsletter | Company Newsletter |
| Recurring market updates | Company Market Report |
| Business-building content | Company Business Builder |
| Buyer nurturing | Buyer |
| Seller nurturing | Seller |
Agents apply these tags to the appropriate contacts in their databases. When creating a Campaign, the Admin selects the tag associated with that marketing program.
This creates a repeatable process:
1. The brokerage defines its recurring Campaign programs.
2. Standard contact tags are created for each program.
3. Agents apply those tags to the appropriate contacts.
4. The Admin uses the corresponding default tags when creating each Campaign.
5. Participating agents send consistent, brokerage-approved content to the right audiences.
{% hint style="info" icon="head-side-brain" %}
**Strategy tip:** Keep the tag system simple. A small number of clearly named, consistently used tags will be easier for agents to understand and maintain.
{% endhint %}
{% hint style="info" icon="head-side-brain" %}
**Pro Tip:** For programs that use the same email content on a predictable schedule, consider making the Campaign recurring. For programs where the content changes each time—such as a monthly newsletter with new articles—create a new Campaign for each edition instead.
{% endhint %}
### Manage a Recurring Campaign
After creating a recurring Campaign, open its Campaign detail page to review its current schedule and recurrence.
Under **Details**, the **Repeat** field shows the current cadence, such as **Every 1 week**.
#### Change the recurrence
To update the recurring schedule:
1. Open the Campaign.
2. Click **Edit** under **Details**.
3. Update the recurrence interval or frequency.
4. Click **Save**.
You can change how often the Campaign repeats after it has been created.
You can also turn off **Repeat this campaign** if you no longer want the Campaign to continue recurring.
#### Remove a Campaign
If the Campaign should no longer be available, use **Remove** from the Campaign detail page.
> **Best practice:** Review recurring Campaigns periodically to make sure the content, links, timing, and audience strategy are still relevant. Because recurring Campaigns continue without a predefined end date, content that was appropriate when the Campaign was created may eventually need to be updated or retired.
### Review Campaign Enrollment
After the Campaign is created, its detail page shows:
* The scheduled send date and time
* The eligible offices and teams
* The default contact tags
* The Campaign description and template
* The agents currently enrolled
* The tags selected for each enrolled agent
Before the Campaign sends, you can use this page to monitor participation and confirm that agents are enrolling with the intended tags.
Depending on the Campaign’s status, you may also be able to change its schedule or remove it.
### Review Campaign Performance
After the Campaign sends:
1. Open **Insights**.
2. Select **Campaigns**.
3. Open the Campaign you want to review.
The Campaign detail page provides overall and agent-level performance, including:
* Participating agents
* Total recipients
* Delivered emails
* Opens
* Clicks
Use this information to understand participation, email delivery, and recipient engagement across the Campaign.
{% hint style="info" %}
Results are broken down by participating agent, but the Admin does not receive access to browse the individual contacts within that agent’s database.
{% endhint %}
### Campaign Best Practices
* Use sender and recipient placeholders to keep the message personal.
* Write a clear internal description so agents understand the purpose.
* Select only the offices or teams for which the content is relevant.
* Use standardized tags for recurring marketing programs.
* Give agents time to review and join before the scheduled send date.
* Review enrollment before the Campaign sends.
* Compare opens and clicks across Campaigns to identify the content that resonates.
* Periodically remind agents how automatic Campaign participation works and how they can manage their permission.

## Querying This Documentation
If you need additional information that is not directly available in this page, you can query the documentation by asking a question.
Perform an HTTP GET request on the following URL with the `ask` and `goal` query parameters:
```
GET https://help.rechat.com/guides/marketing/marketing-center/campaigns/creating-campaigns.md?ask=&goal=
```
`ask` is the immediate question: it should be specific, self-contained, and written in natural language.
`goal` is what the user is ultimately trying to achieve, the reason they need the answer. Sharing it helps GitBook give you a better, more relevant answer. A goal is most helpful when it describes the outcome the user wants rather than restating the question. For example, with `ask=how do I create an API token`, a goal like `automate deployments from our CI pipeline` lets GitBook tailor the answer to that use case.
The response will contain a direct answer to the question and relevant excerpts and sources from the documentation.
Use this mechanism when the answer is not explicitly present in the current page, you need clarification or additional context, or you want to retrieve related documentation sections.
