Step 2: Customize the title, subject, and content of the message template to reflect your campaign details. Use merge tags, links, images, and text to create messaging that is aligned with your brand.

Step 3: If you would like to give influencers the option to unsubscribe from your emails, toggle the “Unsubscribe” option on so influencers will be provided with a link through which to unsubscribe.
Step 4: Click “SAVE”.

How to schedule Message Templates based on Date:
Step 1: From the “Message Template” Sub-Tab within the “SETUP” Tab of your campaign, click the “(edit”) button aligned to the “Message Template” you’d like to schedule.
Step 2: Choose “Automatic: Date Based” as your delivery method.
Step 3: Select the “Deliver” drop-down to determine the number of days and select the “Time Frame” dropdown to indicate whether the Message Template should be sent that number of days “Before” or “After” the Due Date.
Note: “Due Date” refers to the Due Date assigned to specific influencers. If you update an influencer’s due date, the notification will send based on that due date, instead of the one listed in the “Influencer Requirements” section.
Step 4: If you would like to limit the Message Template to only be sent to influencers with a certain status, select that status from the “Only send on this status” dropdown. If you would like influencers to receive the Message Template at the date you set, regardless of status, choose “None” from this dropdown.
Step 5: Click “SAVE”.
Message templates are created for and edited within each campaign and can be sent to influencers at any stage of the campaign workflow.
