Know the delivery boundary before composing

Hosted Mail versus Download HTML

The same design can end at two very different responsibility boundaries.

  • CREBuilder campaign designCREBuilder Mail
  • CREBuilder campaign designDownload HTML
  • Download HTMLExternal campaign tool
  1. 1

    Review hosted readiness

    Email Blasts > sending status card

    Read the status title, the From and Reply-To addresses, and the available recipient sends.

    Expected result: The card shows Ready to send or the current setup, review, pause, or unavailable state, with Set up sending or View setup where offered.

    If this step does not work

    If the status cannot load, select Check again. Download HTML stays available either way.

  2. 2

    Compose with CREBuilder Mail

    Composer > Content, Audience, Review & send

    Keep CREBuilder Mail, the default sender, when CREBuilder should validate recipients, suppress protected addresses, review when required, and deliver separate messages.

    Expected result: The Audience step shows recipient controls and the audience sending check.

    If this step does not work

    If Mail is not ready yet, keep the draft and finish setup. Recipients in the composer receive mail only through CREBuilder Mail.

  3. 3

    Choose Download HTML

    Composer footer > Download HTML

    Use Download HTML when your own email platform will handle the list, scheduling, and delivery.

    Expected result: The composer switches to Download / other apps, moves to Review & send, and the main button reads Download HTML.

    If this step does not work

    After download, import the file into the external system and perform its full compliance and audience workflow.

Start the right property structure and manage drafts

  1. 1

    Start a new blast

    Email Blasts > + New email

    Choose Individual property or Multi-property in the New email blast chooser.

    Expected result: The completed-document chooser opens in the matching selection mode.

    If this step does not work

    If no documents load, select Try again. If none are completed, return to Build and finish a listing.

    Email Blasts hub with the sending status card, Continue draft, activity filters, and New email.
    Use the hub to read sending readiness, resume or create a campaign, and filter the available campaign activity by status.
  2. 2

    Search completed documents

    New email blast property chooser > Search

    Enter the property name or address.

    Expected result: The chooser narrows its completed-document results.

    If this step does not work

    The chooser displays up to the current first 100 results, so refine the search when the intended property is not visible.

  3. 3

    Select completed source documents

    New email blast property chooser > results

    Choose one document for Individual property mode or at least two for Multi-property mode.

    Expected result: The composer opens with the selected property data.

    If this step does not work

    Return to the chooser if an unintended property appears.

  4. 4

    Resume or duplicate a draft

    Email Blasts > Continue draft or Drafts

    Select Continue draft for your latest draft, or Edit to continue another draft, or Duplicate to create an independent copy.

    Expected result: Edit opens the draft; Duplicate adds a separate draft with copied design state.

    If this step does not work

    Confirm the source properties and current contact data after duplicating.

  5. 5

    Review draft deletion

    Drafts > Delete confirmation

    Read the complete permanent-delete confirmation.

    Expected result: The selected draft and irreversible effect are clear.

    If this step does not work

    Cancel if the draft or retained content has not been verified.

  6. 6

    Delete the selected draft

    Drafts > Delete confirmation

    Select Delete draft.

    Expected result: The draft leaves the hub without affecting source documents or sent history.

    If this step does not work

    There is no Trash recovery for this action. Duplicate or export needed content first.

Handle hub limitations and empty states

New email blast is unavailable on an inactive subscription

Likely cause: New campaign creation and hosted delivery require current paid access.

  1. Review the current subscription state.
  2. Preserve any past drafts or history that remain visible.
  3. Restore entitlement before creating or sending new work.
The property chooser is empty

Likely cause: No permitted document is completed, or the request failed.

  1. Read whether the screen says empty or error.
  2. Use Try again for an error.
  3. Complete an eligible source document, then return.
An older blast is not in Recent activity

Likely cause: The hub loads the latest 50 history rows, not an unlimited archive.

  1. Do not call the list full history.
  2. Use the status filters and the visible latest records for routine recovery.
  3. Contact support with subject, date, sender, and operation context when an older record is required.
A history row has a legacy provider label

Likely cause: Past integrations remain labeled historically even though new sends use CREBuilder Mail or HTML download.

  1. Treat the label as historical evidence.
  2. Do not expect that provider to be a current sending option.
  3. Use current Mail setup for new hosted sends.
Needs attention shows a Sent row

Likely cause: The campaign was accepted for some recipients and carries a warning about the rest.

  1. Read the warning on the row.
  2. Do not resend to the whole list.
  3. Follow the send history guide for partial results.

Final verification

  • The selected delivery method is CREBuilder Mail for hosted sending or Download HTML for an external platform.
  • The composer or resumed draft contains the intended completed source document or documents.
  • If you duplicated a draft, the new draft is a separate copy of the intended design.
  • If you intentionally deleted an obsolete draft, only that draft leaves the hub; source documents and sent history remain. Drafts you still need remain available.
  • Recent history is interpreted within its latest-50-row scope. Opening or saving a draft does not send a campaign.
